WOW-Uncensored Voices —Thursday at 7:00pm PWYC, Friday at 7pm & Saturday at 1:00pm

On Thursday, April 30, Women of Wolfville (WOW) will take to the stage at the Al Whittle Theatre for three powerful performances of their newest production, Uncensored Voices

Tickets $15 in advance at EOS Fine Foods or at the door if available.

Funds raised from this year’s performance will support three impactful charities:
1- the beloved Wolfville Memorial Library, ensuring it can continue serving the community during a time of financial pressure;
2 - Frugal Moms, who help individuals and families live well with less; and
3 - Dense Breasts Canada (DBC), champions of awareness and advocacy for better breast cancer screening in Nova Scotia.

In past years, support came primarily through advertising sales.
This year, WOW is opening the door wider, inviting the entire community to be part of bringing this production to life. Every contribution matters. No donation is too small, and all sponsors—unless they prefer to remain anonymous—will be acknowledged during the performances. Sponsorship helps cover the costs of staging the show—lighting, sound, sets, and production expenses and any funds raised beyond those costs will go directly to support our charities.

When community voices come together, powerful things happen.�Join WOW in helping bring Uncensored Voices to the stage.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream —Friday and Saturday at 7:00pm (Thursday May 28 7:00pm-PWYC)

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Step into a world where logic dissolves and reality flickers at the edges with A Midsummer Night’s Dream, presented by Wolfville Social Club.

This reimagined production transforms Shakespeare’s familiar tale into something uncanny and immersive. What begins as a story of lovers’ quarrels quickly unravels into a disorienting landscape where identities shift, power dynamics blur, and the line between fantasy and reality disappears. Like wandering too far into the woods—or stepping through a looking glass—the world reshapes itself, leaving characters grasping for certainty in a place governed by unseen forces.

Featuring gender-swapped roles, the production offers a fluid and dynamic exploration of affection, jealousy, and ambition. Relationships evolve in real time, challenging assumptions about authority and identity while inviting audiences to see the story from unexpected perspectives.

Directed by Jim Hill, the production balances surreal transformation with emotional immediacy, grounding its strangeness in deeply human connection. An intimate staging draws audiences close to the action, while design elements create a living, breathing world where magic seeps in quietly before taking full hold.

Following acclaimed productions like The Rocky Horror Show and a midwinter festival of one-act plays, Wolfville Social Club continues its commitment to bold, inclusive, and community-driven theatre. This Midsummer Night’s Dream embraces contradiction—playful yet disquieting, familiar yet strange—and lingers like a dream that resists easy interpretation.

The Janzen Boys-Open Seas Tour— 7:00pm

The Janzen Boys are a father-and-son-led folk/roots trio from Winnipeg, Canada, known for their tight three-part harmonies, heartfelt songs, and touching live shows. Formed in 2012, their journey began as a busking act at The Forks market before quickly growing into a full-fledged family band. Often described as a male counterpart to The Wailin' Jennys, their sound is frequently compared to artists like Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Young, and the Barenaked Ladies.

Since 2024, The Janzen Boys have toured relentlessly throughout Canada, steadily building a loyal following through captivating live performances and a grassroots approach to connecting with listeners online. Known for heartfelt originals and familiar covers, they’ve built a reputation for delivering both warmth and energy on stage.

Funding from FACTOR Canada and Manitoba Film & Music is now fuelling their upcoming project, The Great Unknown, set for release in late 2026. Produced by Murray Pulver (Crash Test Dummies, Doc Walker) and Trey Mills (Forest Blakk), it promises a vibrant mix of originals, traditional songs, and country-driven rockers. As they prepare to unveil The Great Unknown, The Janzen Boys are poised to bring their earnest, harmony-rich sound to new heights, proving that in a crowded musical landscape, their authenticity and craft stand tall among the weeds.

What people have to say:

“For starters, they are the Wailin’ Jennys of male harmony trios... If you think dudes can’t move you with the beauty of their delicately intermingling voices, you need to hear the Janzen Boys sing ‘One for the Road.’” - Heather Kitching, Roots Music Canada 

"With harmonies that are out of this world, The Janzen Boys will have you laughing, crying, and singing along as they perform classic country songs that we all know and love, and great catchy originals that will be delightfully stuck in your head for days.” - St. John’s Heritage Church & Arts Centre

“Whether you are in need of soul soothing harmony or the upbeat strum energy of Americana instruments like mandolin, bass, and guitar, these boys will deliver… their combination of honesty and integrity in the way they shape a note within unique songwriting will stand out among the weeds.” - Canada Music Spotlight

“I have never booked someone to the Calgary Folk Club without seeing them live, but I did with these guys.” - Suze Casey, Artistic Director, Calgary Folk Club

More about the story of Swan Lake: The law of the land says that Prince Siegfried must chose a bride by the end of his twenty-first birthday, but the princesses assembled by the queen and Lord Chamberlain just won’t do! So Siegfried escapes later that evening for a quick hunting expedition into the woods, where he nearly shoots at what turns out to be his one true love, Odette. Unfortunately for her and Siegfried, Odette is under a spell of evil sorcerer Von Rothbart and is doomed to spend her days as a swan, taking her human form only at night. It’s all part of the master plan for Von Rothbart, who will stop at nothing to gain power over the kingdom — including using his daughter Odile to trick Siegfried and capture the throne. Luckily, just when it looks as though Von Rothbart will have his way, true love prevails.

Canada: He’s not respecting my boundaries.

Counsellor: That must be very taxing….

Canada: Oh don’t get me started on that subject!

US: See? She starts talking like that and it’s like a wall goes up. Not listening!

Oh no! Can couples counselling save Canada and the US? Can a word association game bring them back together? 

Come find out at Caravan Theatre’s latest comic offering - an evening of hilarious sketch comedy poking fun at current events and human foibles. All new material, with 40% more nonsense!

Bird Country — 7pm

On a rugged outcropping at the edge of the Atlantic ocean, millions of birds from across the hemisphere touch down each year; hungry, exhausted, and driven by instinct. For all we’ve learned, migration remains one of nature’s great mysteries.

Join us as we discover why Nova Scotia, part of the traditional territory of Mi’kma’ki, is a lifesaving layover on the vast Atlantic Flyway.

Bird Country is a story of survival, science, and shared responsibility; a love letter to birds; and a wake-up call for us all. Because if we can’t protect the smallest, lightest travelers among us, what hope do we have of protecting ourselves?

With post-show Q&A panel. More details to come!

Joe H Henry & Cameron Nickerson
with special guest Lily Gunn

Al Whittle Theatre is pleased to host an evening of Atlantic Canadian songwriting at its finest, featuring Joe H. Henry and Cameron Nickerson, with special guest Lily Gunn.

Joe H Henry brings a commanding presence and a deep well of experience to the stage. Known for his powerful voice, Henry’s songs are rooted in hard truths, lived stories, and the rich traditions of blues, soul and alt-country music. His performances are equal parts grit and grace, delivered with an honesty that resonates long after the final note.

Sharing the bill is Cameron Nickerson, a rising force in the Canadian bluegrass and roots scene. Blending progressive bluegrass with modern country storytelling, Nickerson’s music is energetic, heartfelt, and grounded in his Maritime roots. Fresh off a breakout year of national recognition and international performances, Cameron’s live shows balance virtuosic musicianship with raw, relatable songwriting.

Opening the night is special guest Lily Gunn, whose intimate songs and expressive delivery have quickly earned her a reputation as a compelling new voice in the region. With a sound that’s both tender and fearless, Gunn sets the tone perfectly for an evening centered on connection and craft.

This show brings together three distinct voices, united by strong songs, honest performances, and a shared love of roots music — all on the beautiful stage of the Al Whittle Theatre.

Tickets $30 in advance, Students $20
