LIVE at the Centre

The curtain rises this fall on a jam-packed LIVE at The Centre season, offering everything from music tributes and world-class comedy to holiday favourites and family-friendly magic. 

It all begins September 26 with Martin Levac: Phil Collins & Genesis… Live, a seven-piece tribute to the anthems that defined the ’70s through ’90s. On October 8, the Off-Broadway sensation Bear Grease takes over—an all-Indigenous, hip-hop-powered parody of Grease that blends powwow dance, beats, and laugh-out-loud comedy. Comedy lovers can catch Netflix favourite Tom Papa on October 15, before the season shifts to blues-rock with Colin James Trio on November 20.

The holidays sparkle with the JUNO Award-winning harmonies of The Ennis Sisters on November 25, Cape Breton’s Men of the Deeps with guest Jenn Sheppard on November 27, and the audience-participation event, Choir! Choir! Choir! Un-Silent Night on December 15. The classic Nutcracker gets a vibrant twist on December 13, fusing Tchaikovsky’s ballet with hip hop and contemporary dance.

The new year brings Matt Andersen on January 29, followed by the Australian acrobatics of Gravity & Other Myths: Ten Thousand Hours on April 14. Confederation Centre’s Youth Chorus and Confederation Singers performances, as well as Musical Theatre and Dance Umbrella programs’ year-end showcases round out April and May. The season closes May 3 with the PEI Symphony Orchestra’s cinematic journey Once Upon a Score: The Music of Hollywood.
