Heritage Christian Online School presents

DISNEY’S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Beauty and the Beast is one of Disney’s best accomplishments at heralding the themes of trust, redemption, love, true beauty and family. Prince Adam, whom is deeply entrenched in his narcissistic path, finds himself sentenced to a life as a Beast, which outwardly reveals the ugliness of his selfish ways, until one day he is redeemed through the love of another. This transforming love heals his heart first and then his beastly appearance, thus restoring him back to a Prince once more. Lighthouse Theatre, a dynamic group of students ranging from Grades 2-12, is committed to a high standard of excellence from the acting, singing, and choreography to the costumes and impressive set design. It's an event you won't want to miss. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show… MORE INFO

June 21, 2017 – 7:30pm Tickets: All Seats $47 BUY TICKETS Ghostfinger Productions presents

A NIGHT OF BOWIE Victoria musician Syl Thompson and his band have been paying tribute to the musical works of David Bowie for more than three decades. Thompson embodies Bowie’s exquisite style and persona and has been acclaimed as providing the most credible and realistic Bowie experience in North America. This show is a multi-media extravaganza. Six highly respected musicians play each song as Bowie and his band performed them live and VJPhoton provides a visual experience second to none with photos and videos unique to each song. The look and feel of the concert replicates the Heathen Tour, complete with costume changes that include a famously familiar electric blue three-piece suit as well as a long and elegant crimson jacket. Music spans the broad spectrum of Bowie’s hits from 1969’s Space Oddity to 2013’s Where Are We Now? The show is eerily close to hearing and seeing Bowie himself.
