Jana Nayagan - (Tamil) — 9:30PM

Jana Nayagan is a gripping Tamil political action thriller directed by H. Vinoth, starring Vijay in a powerful lead role alongside Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, and Gautham Vasudev Menon. Marking Vijay’s 69th film and widely anticipated as his final cinematic outing before stepping into politics, the film carries immense excitement and significance. The story follows a former police officer who is drawn back into a world of power, conflict, and ideology when a child’s fear rekindles a long-standing rivalry. As two opposing forces—one driven by populist ideals and the other by authoritarian control—collide once again, he must confront his past and rise for justice in a battle that goes far beyond personal vengeance. Blending intense action with a compelling political narrative, Jana Nayagan promises a powerful cinematic experience, elevated by Anirudh Ravichander’s dynamic music and strong technical craftsmanship.

Runtime: 183 minutes

Rating: 14A for violence

Jack Pine and The Dirty Sheep present *CRY WOLF* - 7:00pm

A lone wolf. This Juno and Canadian Folk Music Awards nominated singer-songwriter performs dynamic folk tunes full of grit, hope, and smouldering intensity. With lyrics that point to the beauty in the wreck and the heart of the wretch, Jack Pine can strum an audience into a frenzy — passionate folk lyricism that is at once biting and inspiring, while his amplified acoustic instruments play furiously, then softly.

"Jack Pine: The Canadian musician worth 'pining' for" — Suzi Nash, Philadelphia Gay News

This passionate acoustic soul-folk duo is renowned for their soulful harmonies, high energy earworm hooks, and a terrible band name.

When the wolves are at your door, The Dirty Sheep herd has got your back!

🎶 What to Expect

Each artist will play a 45-minute set with a short break in between — an evening full of passionate performances, toe-tapping rhythms, heartwarming smiles, and plenty of sing-along moments. This is an all-ages show and a safe space for all. Bring friends, family, or just yourself!

First-come, first-served seating. Please be prepared to show your order receipt and name at the door.

Don Ross & Julie Malía — 7:30PM

Singers and guitarists Don Ross (Canada) and Julie Malía (Germany) join forces to present a double bill show.

Don Ross and Julie Malía—both acclaimed solo performers—have recently formed a musical partnership. While continuing their international solo careers, they have presented many shows as a double bill since fall 2023, performing more than 100 concerts across Germany, the UK, Canada, Italy, Austria, and the USA. They continue touring together on both sides of the Atlantic in 2026. They are currently working on a duo CD release, slated for release within the next year.

More about Don and Julie below.

Spring 2026 Don’s new all-vocal album, Songs That Found Me, a mix of original songs and interpretations reflecting milestones in his life was released. His 19th solo album (his 27th including collaborations) showcases not only his rich voice but also his work as a multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer. Like his 2023 release Water, it is being launched independently through crowdfunding, allowing collaborations (on Water) with artists such as Bruce Cockburn and The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. Born in Montreal to a Mi’kmaw Indigenous mother and Scottish father, Don earned a BFA in Music from York University and became a full-time musician in 1988, the year he first won the U.S. National Fingerpick Guitar Championship (he won again in 1996). A prolific recording artist and global touring musician, he now lives in Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada.

German guitarist, singer, and songwriter Julie Malía—also a lecturer at Dresden’s Carl Maria von Weber Music University—is a leading figure on Europe’s acoustic scene. Known for her virtuosic guitar work, expressive voice, and engaging stage presence, she performs widely across Europe and North America. Her recent album Seagull was nominated for the German Record Critics’ Prize in 2024. She performs regularly in her native Germany and throughout Europe, and has now expanded her touring base to include North America. Julie lives in Dresden, Germany.
