SUMMARY:Nelson Sketch Comedy Revue: Volume II
DESCRIPTION:After selling out the Capitol Theatre in November 2024 with the premiere of Nelson Sketch Comedy Revue\, we’re back—bigger\, bolder\, and weirder than ever. \nThis show is a love letter to the phrase “Keep Nelson Weird.” It’s a live show packed with fast-paced\, scripted comedy. Each scene is short\, sharp\, and completely original—written and performed by the cast. Expect the return of Nelson News Tonight—and if you don’t know what that is… well\, we won’t spoil it for you.  \nWhat audiences said about our last show: \n“That was such an amazing show! Maybe the best I’ve seen in Nelson\, honestly. Please do it again!”\n “I haven’t laughed that much in a long time.”\n “We loved it so so much and can’t wait to see the next show!”\n“PEOPLE IN THE BATHROOM CAN”T STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD THE SHOW IS!!!! AHHH!!!!!” \nThe Cast: \nJaymes Bowman \nMichelle Hart \nEmma Hill \nRuby Horton \nKait Hundt-Lippett \nRuth Krulitsky \nJonathan Ramos \n  \nWith special guest\, Jackie Atkins!  \n  \nDirected by Michelle Hart  \nThis 90-minute production\, including an intermission\, features mature content—parental discretion is advised. \nDue to the incredible response to our last show\, we’re thrilled to add a second performance! Don’t miss your chance to catch us at the Capitol Theatre on May 15 or May 27

SUMMARY:Fireworks: Shifting Sound
DESCRIPTION:Fireworks: Shifting Sound\nA Mass Choir Experience Like No Other\nPresented by the Capitol Theatre | Directed by Allison Girvan \nNow in its 5th year\, Fireworks is a powerful\, one-of-a-kind community singing event that brings together hundreds of voices for a single\, breathtaking performance. Conceived and directed by beloved choral leader Allison Girvan and produced by the Capitol Theatre\, Fireworks celebrates the transformative power of collective singing. “Group singing has long been one of the fastest ways to cement community\,” says Girvan. “It’s incredibly moving to be able to share this experience again.” \nThe name Fireworks captures the essence of the event: brilliant\, intense\, and fleeting. While participants prepare individually in the weeks leading up to the performance\, the full group – this year over 325 singers strong – will meet together for the very first time on the day of the show. After a single rehearsal\, they will step into the echoing acoustics of the Nelson and District Community Complex to share their voices with the audience in one unforgettable half hour performance. \nThis year’s piece\, titled Shifting Sound\, reflects on change\, connection\, and diversity. Through a rich tapestry of perspectives\, voices\, and rhythms\, it reminds us that to sing together is to listen deeply\, breathe as one\, and create something far greater than ourselves. As the lyrics of one of the songs declares: “when you band together\, it’s a choir of thunder and rain – and now we have a choice\, because I have a voice.” Whether you’re a seasoned music lover or simply curious\, if you’ve never experienced a mass choir live – prepare to be swept away.\nThis show is supported by the BC Arts Council and Canadian Heritage. \nTickets $15
