The Beating Hearts The Beating Hearts is an indie rock band hailing from Edmonton, Canada. Drawing inspiration from the psychedelic sounds of iconic artists like The Beatles, Ringo Starr, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix, their music is a vibrant blend of retro and contemporary elements. They are known for their energetic live performances, and feel good love hearted tunes. The Beating Hearts is poised to captivate audiences with their unique sonic journey! Funk Cove Funk Cove is an eight-piece ensemble which includes a crackling rhythm section, three piece horns, and a wunderkind keyboard player. We collaborate to create a unique blend of highly original, syncopated music, as well as pay homage to the great music of the funk cannon. Radio Reciever Radio Receiver is an Edmonton based punk rock band, comprised of 4 Macewan music students. Formed by their vocalist L, after leaving behind Kelowna B.C. and their previous band, to attend Macewan University in Edmonton, Alberta. L and Sebastian shared some classes and L voiced wanting to put together a band, Sebastian asked to join on bass. Later, Eva and Edo were recruited on their respective instruments, drums and guitar. Sebastian and L quickly started collaborating on song writing, and the band eventually decided on the name Radio Receiver because of their old-school influences. Radio Receiver’s biggest inspirations are classic punk bands such as the Misfits, Ramones, and The Clash. Radio Receiver combines old-school song-writing with modern sound. The band hopes to expand their opportunities and audience, and take Edmonton by storm! First Edmonton, then the world… Megan Lange There is a timelessness to Megan Lange’s sound - a nod to the golden era of 70s folk infused with the ethereal clarity of a young Sarah McLachlan. For the Edmonton-born artist, music is both a lifelong pursuit and a family legacy. Her songwriting leans into the "beauty and messiness" of the human experience, balancing sophisticated melodies with a raw, vulnerable honesty. $15 advance // $20 @ the door Doors @ 7:30

Four strangers. One unexpected detour. And a question we’ve all asked ourselves… what if? When four women set out to “fix” their lives at a self-help seminar, things don’t exactly go as planned.

As their imaginations take over, what follows is a bold, funny, and unapologetic dive into their wildest fantasies, the ones they’ve never dared to say out loud. Revealing dreams and desires of supermodel glamour to secret alter egos and everything in between. Tell Me What’s Your Fantasy… is a playful, high-energy, story-driven dance experience that celebrates imagination, confidence, and the version of you that’s just waiting to come out.

This story of blueberry muffins and lost socks transports the audience into the world of a small French-speaking community. After years of adventures abroad, Louise returns home to find her roots and takes over the laundry business that belonged to her grandmother. She also reunites with her childhood best friend, Maxime, who had always worked in his family’s bakery without changing a single ingredient. His world is turned upside down when he goes through a breakup with his girlfriend, Marie-Josée, a kindergarten teacher who's looking for more creativity in her life. Guillaume, a renowned musician, also returns to stay with his friend Maxime, since he lacks inspiration in the big city. At the heart of this play we find themes of discovery and reunion, love and friendship.

The Beating Hearts The Beating Hearts is an indie rock band hailing from Edmonton, Canada. Drawing inspiration from the psychedelic sounds of iconic artists like The Beatles, Ringo Starr, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix, their music is a vibrant blend of retro and contemporary elements. They are known for their energetic live performances, and feel good love hearted tunes. The Beating Hearts is poised to captivate audiences with their unique sonic journey! Funk Cove Funk Cove is an eight-piece ensemble which includes a crackling rhythm section, three piece horns, and a wunderkind keyboard player. We collaborate to create a unique blend of highly original, syncopated music, as well as pay homage to the great music of the funk cannon. Radio Reciever Radio Receiver is an Edmonton based punk rock band, comprised of 4 Macewan music students. Formed by their vocalist L, after leaving behind Kelowna B.C. and their previous band, to attend Macewan University in Edmonton, Alberta. L and Sebastian shared some classes and L voiced wanting to put together a band, Sebastian asked to join on bass. Later, Eva and Edo were recruited on their respective instruments, drums and guitar. Sebastian and L quickly started collaborating on song writing, and the band eventually decided on the name Radio Receiver because of their old-school influences. Radio Receiver’s biggest inspirations are classic punk bands such as the Misfits, Ramones, and The Clash. Radio Receiver combines old-school song-writing with modern sound. The band hopes to expand their opportunities and audience, and take Edmonton by storm! First Edmonton, then the world… Megan Lange There is a timelessness to Megan Lange’s sound - a nod to the golden era of 70s folk infused with the ethereal clarity of a young Sarah McLachlan. For the Edmonton-born artist, music is both a lifelong pursuit and a family legacy. Her songwriting leans into the "beauty and messiness" of the human experience, balancing sophisticated melodies with a raw, vulnerable honesty. $15 advance // $20 @ the door Doors @ 7:30

Four strangers. One unexpected detour. And a question we’ve all asked ourselves… what if? When four women set out to “fix” their lives at a self-help seminar, things don’t exactly go as planned. Instead, they find themselves stuck, waiting… and getting honest about what they really want. As their imaginations take over, what follows is a bold, funny, and unapologetic dive into their wildest fantasies, the ones they’ve never dared to say out loud. Revealing dreams and desires of supermodel glamour to secret alter egos and everything in between. Tell Me What’s Your Fantasy… is a playful, high-energy, story-driven dance experience that celebrates imagination, confidence, and the version of you that’s just waiting to come out. Early Bird Tickets Available Until April 21!Early Bird: $31Regular: $41

This story of blueberry muffins and lost socks transports the audience into the world of a small French-speaking community. After years of adventures abroad, Louise returns home to find her roots and takes over the laundry business that belonged to her grandmother. She also reunites with her childhood best friend, Maxime, who had always worked in his family’s bakery without changing a single ingredient. His world is turned upside down when he goes through a breakup with his girlfriend, Marie-Josée, a kindergarten teacher who's looking for more creativity in her life. Guillaume, a renowned musician, also returns to stay with his friend Maxime, since he lacks inspiration in the big city. At the heart of this play we find themes of discovery and reunion, love and friendship.
