Jake Allan, Rob Rowan, and Jason Cooper are all veterans of the country music industry and have performed in numerous Honky Tonks, Casinos and many of the major festivals throughout Canada and the US. Over the past number of years, these artists have come across countless country music fans expressing their inability to find great “live” traditional country music. Being huge fans of this genre of music, they decided to produce a show to pay homage to three of their favorites. This talented and stellar trio of singers combines great musicianship with a little humor to bring you a fantastic show in their tribute to “Alan Jackson”, “Waylon Jennings” and “Merle Haggard”. Along with many standing ovations, they’ve been recipients of great reviews from their audiences. Remarks such as “Awesome show”, “Great band”, “Sounded so much like the real thing”, and “You guys knocked it out of the park” are frequently heard. The Icons’ show is supported by an award-winning group of musicians who never cease to deliver. They always look forward and are grateful to share their passion for this great style of music with other like-minded fans. Their love for traditional country music shines through in every performance. Come raise your voice and sing along to these trademark tunes while recalling memories that they will conjure up. Join us on for a lively night of foot stomping country music. |

Bruce Coughlan & Company pay tribute to the genius of Van Morrison, the Mystic Celtic Soul singer and songwriter who has placed his indelible stamp on Western Music culture for over half a century! Join Moondance at Venables Theatre for an energetic and joyous celebration of Van Morrison, his life & music.
In 1970, Van Morrison recorded two albums: Moondance & Van Morrison, His Band and the Street Choir. From these two albums alone flowed a stream of enduring classics: And It Stoned Me, Moondance, Crazy Love, Caravan, Into the Mystic, Blue Money, Domino & I've Been Working. In the half-century to pass since, Van Morrison has continued to write, perform and produce his distinct brand of Rhythm & Blues. Bruce Coughlan and two of his Moondance bandmates are the heart and soul of Tiller’s Folly, (the masterful Celtic band who played to packed theatres all over Canada, the United States & the British Isles). They have added three top artists with feet deep in Celtic tradition to create this world class band to perform some of the most globally embraced music of the day. Van Morrison would definitely approve. |

Retired couple, Jim and Hilda Bloggs, have moved to an isolated country cottage in the South East of England. They are decent, houseproud and hopelessly behind the times. Jim hears on the radio that a pre-emptive strike is to be expected. With his government leaflets as his guide, he builds a refuge and gathers emergency rations.
Jim and Hilda emerge after the Bomb to find a devastated, post-nuclear, holocaust world. Expecting the Powers-That-Be to rescue them, they wait, but eventually drift gently into the darkness, loving each other and uttering fragments of prayer. This tale is clever, humourous, credible, and ultimately heart-breaking. For more information, visit SOAP Theatre's website. TICKETS: Save when you buy tickets to the series!
