​Step right up for a week-long circus extravaganza! Green Fools Theatre Society is coming to Oliver to teach circus for ages 8 to 14. The camp is hosted by Venables Theatre and will allow youth to try a multitude of circus disciplines including stilts, unicycles, juggling, walking barrels, aerial skills and more!
 
For Green Fools Co-Founder Dean Bareham, circus and performing had a profound impact on him. “It really saved my life,” says Bareham, “I was a teen who could have easily slipped through the cracks, and it gave me direction.” During the camp the kids get to try everything from juggling to stilt walking. “We want to create a place where kids can participate in healthy risk taking and see that failure is okay,” says Bareham. At the end of the week, participants will create a performance for their families.
 
In Bareham’s thirty years of experience teaching circus, he has experienced the incredible impact it has on kids. “During one of our camps in Calgary we had a young boy join us who had just arrived in Canada from Ethiopia. He was a refugee and didn’t speak English. Within days he was performing in the Jubilee auditorium and the rest of the kids had banded together to make sure he felt included.”

AFRIQUE EN CIRQUE
Cirque Kalabante
Afrique en Cirque is a show by Yamoussa Bangoura, inspired by daily life in Guinea. This performance shares the beauty, youth and artistry of African culture. A colorful show beyond its scenery, costumes and staging, it makes any theatre vibrate with energy and represents the strength, agility and life’s joys of young Africans. The audience will see acrobats execute gravity-defying moves and human pyramids, accompanied by the contemporary sounds of live Afro-Jazz, percussion, and kora. Welcome to the universe of Kalabanté Productions, and prepare for an unforgettable journey.

Kalabanté Productions was created by Yamoussa Bangoura, a multidisciplinary artist of Guinean origin.  Yamoussa’s dream was the founding of a school of circus arts, and to direct his own multidisciplinary company specializing in the African arts. 

Yamoussa first became interested in the Circus Arts as a young man growing up in Conakry Guinea in the 1990’s.   He studied the circus performers he saw on European TV and practiced on the beach and dirt around his home. He also studied the Nyamakala tradition of circus, practiced by the Fula people of West Africa. He eventually joined Guinea’s original circus company, Circus Baobob, with whom he toured Africa and Europe.
​
In the early 2000’s, Yamoussa was recruited to come to Canada with Cirque Eloize, a Montreal based Canadian cirque company.  While in Canada he also performed with Cirque du Soleil and Cavalia (cirque with horses).  In 2007 Yamoussa realized his dream and opened his own company, Kalabanté Productions in Montreal Canada. He recruited many of his extended family members to join the company, including his twin sisters, brothers, and cousins.

St. Louis bred, Byrnes moved to Vancouver, BC in the mid-70s after years of drifting, working odd jobs and playing music.

He’s been a mainstay on both the music and screen scenes ever since. His fame as an actor equals his legendary music status.

MOSAÏCO
Presented by Venables Theatre
MOSAÏCO combines dance and digital art to explore the richness of identity in its plurality.  What legacies are passed down to us from our family origins and the territories that have shaped us? This choreographic creation offers a profound meditation on the construction of identity, woven both through movement and visuals.
 
Flamenco, Québécois step dance, African, Latin, and urban dances come together to honor the diverse roots that nourish our mixed society. On stage, five dancers, with various cultural backgrounds, embody this theme through a rhythmic and eclectic vocabulary. Their movements influence a reactive digital projection in the background: a textured mosaic comes to life, transforming and decomposing according to the performers' motion. Poetic texts punctuate the piece, inviting the audience to delve into this introspection that fueled the creative process.
 
MOSAÏCO thus asserts itself as a work embracing cultural diversity, uniting different artistic disciplines and aesthetics.

TICKETS: $55
Oh yes, they are coming back!

​Around here, we love our country... country music that is. We’re lucky to see a great variety of artists, but rarely do we get to experience talent with musical pedigree of this caliber. Lisa Brokop, joined by Paul Jefferson, brings just that.

In 2016, Lisa Brokop launched a new musical venture, Lisa Brokop: The Patsy Cline Project, in which she pays homage to one of country music’s greatest legends. This heartfelt tribute features some of Patsy Cline’s most iconic songs, including “Sweet Dreams,” “Walkin’ After Midnight,” and “Crazy,” alongside original songs Lisa wrote specifically for the project and a few seasonal tunes.

And that’s not all—you also get Paul Jefferson, a major country artist and gifted songwriter (Aaron Tippin, Keith Urban), delivering an incredibly accurate and moving portrayal of his hero, Hank Williams Sr. You’ll swear Hank himself is back on stage.

Lisa began her musical journey as a young girl in Surrey, BC. With over 30 years in the business, she’s released nine albums and achieved more than 30 Top 20 radio hits. At 19, she landed the lead female role in the feature film Harmony Cats and was soon signed to Capitol Records. Her hit albums Every Little Girl’s Dream and the self-titled Lisa Brokop include fan favorites like “Give Me a Ring Sometime,” “Take That,” “Before He Kissed Me,” and “She Can’t Save Him.” In 1995, she earned a nomination for Top New Female Vocalist from the Academy of Country Music and has received multiple accolades from the Canadian Country Music Awards. As a songwriter, she’s written for Reba McEntire, Terri Clark, and Pam Tillis. This is a must-see for Patsy Cline fans everywhere!
​
Paul Jefferson is a singer, songwriter, producer, and recording artist who has called Nashville, Tennessee home for over three decades.

Although no one will ever replace Elvis Presley, The 2018 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Champion has been commended by many who worked with Elvis himself and was even chosen to portray Elvis in the Blockbuster Movie ‘Bladerunner 2049’.

As an official representative of Elvis Presley Enterprises, Ben stays true to Elvis as he takes you back through all the eras. Opening with the 50’s, you are taken back to where it all began, then to the movies, a quick change into the leathers and its the NBC’s ‘68 Comeback Special, finally closing the show with a replica of the amazing 70s concert years.

It really is a show created with every Elvis Fan in mind.

DELHI 2 DUBLIN
Presented by Venables Theatre
TICKETS: On sale June 16 @ 10:00am
Adults - $45
Students - $30
For nearly two decades, Delhi 2 Dublin has been at the forefront of South Asian fusion music, pioneering a global bass sound they call “Subcontinental Pop”—a high-energy blend of Bhangra, electronic, hip-hop, reggae, and Celtic influences that defies genre and unites dance floors worldwide. As they approach their monumental 20th anniversary in 2026, the band is re-energized, re-inspired, and ready to launch a bold new chapter, creating fresh music for the first time in six years. Founding members Sanjay Seran and Ravi Binning continue to lead the charge, pushing Delhi 2 Dublin’s sound and vision to new heights.

What began as a one-night collaboration at Vancouver’s Celtic Fest in 2006 quickly evolved into a global phenomenon, lighting up stages at Electric Forest (USA), Glastonbury (UK), Burning Man (USA), Bali Spirit Festival (Indonesia), and Woodford Folk Festival (Australia), among many others. Their music has taken them around the world, from the clubs of Mumbai to the deserts of Nevada, earning them a reputation for delivering “90 minutes of freebasing joy” at every show. For over a decade, violinist Serena Eades has been a driving force in the band, her electrifying performances and deep musicality adding a rich melodic layer to Delhi 2 Dublin’s ever-evolving sound.
Now, with fresh energy coursing through their veins, Delhi 2 Dublin welcomes producer, keyboardist, and tabla player Kal Mattu, who brings a renewed vibrancy to their ever-evolving sound. This infusion of talent, combined with their signature fusion of hypnotic dhol, deep bass, and euphoric hooks, ensures their next chapter will be as boundary-breaking and high-energy as ever.

With a discography that includes critically acclaimed albums like Planet Electric (2010), Turn Up The Stereo (2012), and We’re All Desi (2015), Delhi 2 Dublin has consistently pushed the boundaries of South Asian music. Their 2019 album, We Got This, produced by Juno Award-winning Gavin Brown, marked a major milestone, earning commercial radio play for the song “My People.” Their innovative approach has secured top spots on international world music charts, millions of streams, multiple Western Canadian Music Awards, and recognition from major platforms like CBC Music, BBC Asian Network, and PBS.
​
New music is on the horizon and the festival season promises to be bigger than ever, Delhi 2 Dublin is set to remind the world why they’ve remained at the top of the global bass music scene for two decades. The party isn’t slowing down—it’s just getting started.
