re:source is an exhibition of creative re-imagining, the act of finding and using materials over again or for a purpose not originally intended. We often think of “resources” as the things we have, but re-sourcing in this context implies the active process of discovery and reinvention.

BOOM – The Music, Culture, and Events of the Baby Boom Generation
2025-03-05 19:30 - 21:30 | Bailey Theatre, 1501 Cedar Ave., Trail, BC
Trail Arts Council presents “BOOM” A Kidoons and WYRD Production, in association with The 20K Collective. Written, Directed and Performed by Rick Miller.
“BOOM (1945-1969): The Music, Culture, and Events of the Baby Boom Generation” will play at The Bailey Theatre on Wednesday, March 5 at 7:30 pm, as part of the Performing Arts Trail series in The Bailey Theatre. A daring mix of live music and visual effects this is a show full of emotion, storytelling and sensory experience.
Part 1 of the BOOM Trilogy features the music, culture, and events of the Baby Boom Generation from 1945 to 1969. An explosive solo performance, “BOOM” takes us through 25 turbulent years, and gives voice to over a 100 influential politicians, activists and musicians. It’s a mind-blowing experience for audiences of all generations.
BOOM chronologically documents the period from the first atomic bomb in 1945 all the way to the Apollo 11 landing on the moon in 1969. These two iconic moments span one of the most tumultuous times in modern history, as a generation with incredible influence came of age alongside advances in technology and communication.
Rick Miller performs all the characters, and 25 moment-defining songs, in a stunningly staged production that blends cutting-edge multimedia, and tour-de-force storytelling. Experience the global events as they unfold: the Cold War, McCarthyism, Beatlemania, JFK, MLK, Vietnam… The various stories spiral into the “The Summer of Love’’, and BOOM ends as it began: with the birth of a new generation.

La Patente is a party that’s been going strong for almost 5 years, without ever running out of steam. The group returns with “Le cirque des mal-aimés”, a folk-rock album that feels like its both covered with sawdust and scented with the bottom of a whisky barrel. Rising from the dark recesses of New Brunswick to set the stage ablaze, the quartet presents a raw and uncompromising cocktail of punk-rock and country-folk offset by a unique contemporary splash!

Since their debut in 2020, the band has taken the stage to perform some 200 shows in five countries on both sides of the Atlantic. This success is reflected in an accumulation of nominations and awards at ECMA, GAMIQ, MNB, FrancoFête en Acadie, and Harvest Music Festival, as well as repeated appearances at major events and on notable broadcasts. Fuelled by a tireless festive good humour, LA PATENTE leaves behind the lasting memory of a good night complete with sore dance-stepping muscles and satisfied mornings-after.

LA PATENTE is :
Marc Colecchio (lyrics, vocals, guitar)
Mathieu Emond (banjo, vocals)
Marc-André Godin (upright bass, vocals)
Jean-Denis Migneault (drums, vocals)

The Trail & District Arts Council presents the hilarious Hot Flash Comedy Tour,featuring Syd Bosel and Helen Schneiderman, for International Women’s Day weekend on Friday, March 7 at 7:30 pm in The Bailey Theatre!
Syd Boselis a stand-up comedian who spins hilarious and relatable tales of “adult” children, being married for 1,000 years, surviving breast cancer, and other glories of nature.
With loads of accolades Syd was voted “Best of the Fest” at the Nanaimo Fringe Festival in 2023 and got “four yesses” in CTV’s Canada’s Got Talent and you’ve probably heard her on CBC’s “Just for Laughs” and “Laugh Out Loud.”
Syd placed 1st, and was voted Fan Favourite, in the 2018 “BC’s Funniest New Female Comic” and was a finalist in the 2019 “Great Canadian Yuk Off”. Then, in 2022, Syd placed 2nd (out of 65 comics) in Vancouver’s “Funniest Person with a Day Job” competition. She is also a regular on the Jest Ladies and “Life is Funny” troupes and Jokers Canada.
Syd has opened for Debra DiGiovanni, Maria Bamford, Simon King and Julie Kim.
Audience reviews of Syd’s shows include “That older lady was really funny” and “My wife laughed so much that she peed her pants”.
LIsten to some of Syd’s comedy: https://open.spotify.com/track/0NXWQz1pxzvkc8VH9vbSwh?si=87baa249cffe4128
Helen Schneiderman opens for Syd sharing the good, the bad and the ugly to get you laughing. Helen got into stand-up comedy a few years ago as a way to get off her couch. Now she’s so busy performing, her couch misses her.
Helen’s comedy draws from her varied life experiences and trips around the globe. She’s not afraid to share and audiences love her sincere and relatable style. Helen has performed all across the lower mainland and Vancouver Island. She was runner-up in the 2019 BC Funniest New Female Comic contest and was the opening comic for the 2020 “I Am Woman Hear Me Laff” tour and 2022 Chutzpah Festival.
Helen’s favourite review: “I really liked the pretty one with the weird accent.”
Watch Helen perform: https://youtu.be/IgaecbMWYmQ
Plus a local comedy act! Joining them is Nelson based Michelle Hart, a multi-disciplinary artist, specializing in theatre and improvisation.
Since graduating from Mount Allison University with a theatre degree, she has trained, taught, and performed with theatre institutions across North America to hone her craft. Michelle is a two-time recipient of the Pat & Tony Freedom Fund, Outstanding Sketch/Improv Productions from My Entertainment Weekly, and was featured on JFL42 Sirius FX Just For Laughs Festival. She has worked as a cast member for MSC Seaside, The Second City, and Bad Dog Theatre Feature Players. Michelle has opened for Julie Kim, Jane Staton and now can’t wait to open for Sydney Bosel.
Enjoy a night of laughter with these fabulous female comedians!

2025-03-07 20:00 - 23:30 | The Royal, 330 Baker Street Nelson, BC V1L 4H5, Nelson, British Columbia, V1L 4H5, Canada
Death by Stereo is a wild ride of hardcore punk energy straight out of Orange County, California, kicking things off around 1998 with the powerhouse vocals of Efrem Schulz leading the charge. Known for their electrifying performances that could wake the dead, they bring a symphony of complex guitar riffs that keep fans on their toes and their fists in the air. And get this – their name? It’s a cheeky nod to a line from Corey Haim in the cult classic horror flick The Lost Boys! Talk about a killer inspiration! So, if you’re ready to crank up the volume and dive into some high-octane punk, Death by Stereo is the band to catch!

Oxygen Art Centre (#3-320 Vernon St. (alleyway entrance), Nelson, BC)
Admission is free
Oxygen Art Centre presents two events to commemorate the closing of SF Ho’s exhibition TRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD. The exhibition has been on view at the artist-run centre since January 15, 2025, following Ho’s residency in November and December 2024.
The public are invited to attend an artist talk by SF Ho held at Notably, a Book Lover’s Emporium at 454 Ward St. Nelson, BC, on Saturday, March 8, 2025, at 5:30pm. Admission is a suggested donation of $5 – $20 per person at the door.
The artist talk will feature background on the Vancouver-based writer and artist’s practice and current research that led to the exhibition, TRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD. A slide presentation will accompany the talk. Topics will range from Traditional Chinese Medicine and plant cultivation and use in artistic practice, to historical research into Chinese agrarian and cultural practices.
Following the artist talk, the public are invited to the artist-run centre along the alleyway for a Closing Reception celebration of Ho’s exhibition at 6:30 PM. Refreshments and light snacks will be provided. Admission to the closing reception is free.
The exhibition attends to the use of common plants while speaking to first-generation settlers about agriculture and medicine. By highlighting the spiritual and medicinal uses of tea, yarrow, poppy and mugwort, the exhibition examines how life is separated into the categories of useful commodities or invasive weeds within the framework of global capitalism.
TRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD also includes archival and oral accounts of the role of the barefoot doctor during the Cultural Revolution, the agricultural land defense movement in Hong Kong, and the early Chinese market gardens of Nelson, BC. Using emptiness and manifold duality as guiding principles, art making becomes a kind of serious play that points to interdependence with land and beings while eschewing human supremacy.
TRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD is currently on view at Oxygen Art Centre from January 15, 2025, to March 8, 2025, on Wednesdays to Saturdays from 1:00pm to 5:00pm.
SF Ho will be present in Nelson, B.C., for the Artist Talk event at Notably (5:30 pm) and Closing Reception event at Oxygen Art Centre (6:30 pm) on Saturday, March 8, 2025.
Oxygen Art Centre is an artist-run centre located at #3-320 Vernon Street along the alleyway behind Baker Street.
This program is generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Regional District of Central Kootenay ReDi program.
