Classic Country and Comedy

Young at Heart Theatre (YAH), a registered charity, now in its 21st year of enriching the lives of older adults through story and song, needs support so they can continue to bring quality entertainment to older adults in long-term care and community care facilities across PEI. A lot has changed over 21 years, but YAH continues to serve the Island’s older population with live, professional musical theatre performances. YAH’s mission continues to be about lifting spirits, hearts and minds.

A special fundraising event with host and comedian Wade Lynch will be held at the Florence Simmons Performance Hall in Charlottetown on September 10 at 7 pm. Funds raised will help YAH bring a brand-new original production to over 27 venues across PEI. 

Starring Catherine O’Brien, artistic producer of YAH, this fundraiser will feature country artists Whitney Rose, Lawrence Maxwell, Island singer-songwriter Kelley Mooney, musical theatre artists Gabrielle Roddy and Greg Ellard, Island storyteller Alan Buchanan, and a band led by musician Deryl Gallant. This evening of classic country music and comedy will feature silent and live auctions, special prizes, a 50/50 draw, and more.

YAH Theatre is grateful for all current and future supporters who want to give back to the older generation. Funds help to cover the costs of YAH’s newest production, Fascinating Ladies of Country, which will tour to long-term care, community care facilities and small halls across PEI in the spring of 2026, reaching over 1100 older adults.
