SUMMARY:Son of a Preacherman
DESCRIPTION:A Pacific Theatre Production \nForgive him Father for he has chosen theatre. \nIns Choi\, the creator of Kim’s Convenience\, comes from a long line of clergy. Before he was born\, his mother made an offering to God that if she had a son\, he would dedicate his life to the church. Turns out both God and Ins had other plans. Behold the triumphant return to the stage of one of theatre’s greats\, as he riffs on Bible stories\, his creative process\, and growing up as the only son of the head pastor at a Korean church. A talented performer takes us on a musical storytelling journey\, sharing how he built a career in the arts\, won over his parents\, and manifested the representation he always longed to see as a child. \nThis deeply personal show sits at the intersection of faith and art— a whimsical\, funny\, and heartfelt tribute from a Canadian theatre icon to his father\, his passion\, and Korean-Canadian communities. \nASL Interpreted Performance: Friday\, September 25\nFor more information and to reserve tickets to the ASL Interpreted Performance\, please contact Aimee Bouchard\, Learning & Engagement Coordinator for English Theatre at ac.anc-canobfsctd-4fe390@drahcuob.eemia.

SUMMARY:WHYGO with Varitones and Sir Kingfish
DESCRIPTION:WHYGO:\nOriginally from New Glasgow\, Nova Scotia\, now based in Kingston\, Ontario\, WHYGO is a three piece alternative rock band with versatility\, taking inspiration from genres such as blues\, soul\, classical\, metal and virtually anything in between.\nConsisting of Bass\, Drums\, Guitar and three unique vocalists\, WHYGO uses their tight knit chemistry as a weapon when authoring heartfelt poeticism and composing graceful yet thrashing epics\, all with the deliverance and edge that the world has come to crave when they hear the words “power trio.” \nVARITONES:\nVaritones is a Rock and Roll band known for bringing the energy and feel of rock’s greatest eras forwards into the modern landscape. Through gritty riffs\, powerful vocals\, bombastic drums\, tight bass grooves and dynamic keyboards\, they seek to make their mark on modern music. On their latest album “From the Bedlam” (released June 2026)\, they deliver a diverse collection of songs that are raw\, uncompromising\, mysterious and overflowing with energy.\nThis sonic blueprint translates into an electrifying live show where everything is left on the stage. Where the amps roar\, the cymbals are bashed\, and most importantly\, all audiences are left blown away. \nSIR KINGFISH:\nSir Kingfish is an Ottawa-based four-piece psychedelic rock band with heavy influences from bands like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard\, Thee Oh Sees\, Frankie and the Witch Fingers\, and more. Specializing in the act of blowing minds (and eardrums) with INSANE-O sounds and a plethora of time signatures\, Sir Kingfish is taking over the world one show at a time.
