Culture Centre looking ahead to busy fall months
The Cultural Centre will be buzzing with activity in the next few months, with a number of shows scheduled to keep the Mae Wilson Theatre warm with entertainment. The Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Council is bringing the Stars for Saskatchewan concert series back to the Cultural Centre. The first show of the series will be the Arcana Kings, formerly known as The Johnny McCuaig Band, on Sept. 26.
Red Green, the beloved Canadian comedy act by Steve Smith, will bring his farewell tour to Moose Jaw on Oct. 5 with two shows to satisfy fans of his handyman persona.
On Oct. 8, a Salute to Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn will take the stage. With a heartwarming connection, the show is performed by Conway’s grandson Tre Twitty and Loretta’s granddaughter Tayla Lynn as a tribute to their famous grandparents.
Singer and songwriter Mike Plume will return to the Mae Wilson for the second time on Oct. 19, with new material from his recent album Born By the Radio. Moose Jam Comedy, a local group of comedians, are bringing a comedy night to the Friendly City on Oct. 25. The show will feature B.C. comedian Tim Nutt, alongside He Fangzhou on his Canadian tour and Moose Jaw local Garret Delaurier.
Rueben and the Dark, which some may recognize from their performance here during the 2013 Juno Fest and the 2019 Calgary Stampede, will return on Oct. 26. Rueben Bullock’s third album, un | love will release the day before the show.
Tribute band Trilogy will perform beloved classics from Journey, Styx, and Foreigner on Oct. 31.
The Stars for Saskatchewan series will continue on Nov. 27 with the Praire Debuts tour performance featuring Regina musicians Meagan Milatz and Amy Hillis on the piano and violin, respectively. Comedian Shawn Majumder from This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Comedy Central will bring his Hate tour to Moose Jaw on Nov. 28.
And to finish up the fall, a holiday-themed performance from tribute group Four by Four will recreate the sounds of the Beach Boys, the Bee Gees, the Beatles, and Motown will take the stage on Nov. 29.
Derik Cronan, general manager of the Cultural Centre, is looking forward to all of the shows coming up and encourages people to grab some tickets.
“I think Reuben and the Dark is going to be an absolutely fantastic show,” said Cronan. “The day before their show in Moose Jaw, they’re releasing a new album so I think we’ll be able to see some of their new music performed live as part of their show.”
He also added that Shawn Majumder’s appearance will also be a great show to catch, as it’s focusing on topics that a lot of people tend to avoid.
“This show is about all of the negativity and hate going in the world,” said Cronan. “I think it shines a light on a lot of things happening that people are not-so-willing to talk about and puts a comedic spin on it while still being relevant.”
Tickets for all of these shows are available either on the Cultural Centre’s website or at the Box Office, either in person or by calling 1 (306) 693- 4700.
