Steven Page to lead Yukon Arts Centre’s spring/summer lineup

Former Barenaked Ladies singer Steven Page leads off The Yukon Arts Centre’s spring and summer lineup with a
concert in April, followed by An Operatic Cabaret with Julie Nesrallah and Robert Kortgaard in May, then an evening with Canadian marketing guru Terry O’Reilly in June. We are also proud to announce a partnership with Whitehorse-based theatre company Larrikin Entertainment for a production at the Old Fire Hall in April.

Hot on the heels of his induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame alongside his ex-bandmates in Barenaked Ladies, singer-songwriter Steven Page launches his Canadian tour to support his new album Discipline: Heal Thyself, Pt. II, a forceful musical statement of his solo music career. The evening will include a variety of musical material including songs from the Barenaked Ladies catalogue. The show will be held on April 27, at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $50.

For those with an appreciation for the opera, The Yukon Arts Centre is pleased to be bringing up An Operatic Cabaret featuring Julie Nesrallah and Robert Kortgaard. Mezzo-soprano Julie Nesrallah is a singer, actress, and broadcaster who dazzles audiences with her engaging personality and her rich, expressive voice. Join her and pianist Robert Kortgaard for an eclectic evening of stories, arias, Broadway tunes and a few surprises. The performance is on May 10 & 11 at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $30.

Terry O’Reilly’s CBC radio show, Under The Influence, is now one of the highest-rated radio programs in Canada. The show attracts over one million listeners per week and the podcast has been downloaded over 20 million times, making it the most-downloaded Canadian podcast according to the Globe & Mail podcast study.

Each week, Terry takes listeners on a unique journey to understand the advertising that swirls around them. He explores the intersection of human nature and pop culture while revealing the hidden insights behind persuasion and marketing. And he does it with a heaping helping of humour.

Spend an inspiring evening with marketing guru Terry O’Reilly as he shares insights and stories from his extensive work in advertising. The show also includes a Q&A
session on June 19 at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $45.

Larrikin Entertainment and The Yukon Arts Centre, in association with Atomic Vaudeville, proudly present North of The Sixtieth Parallel - A Zeitgeist Cabaret. More easily described by what it might NOT be - variety show, sketch comedy, burlesque, musical theatre (yet the show steals from each of these and more) - this cabaret is a collective labour of love that pushes theatre kicking and screaming into the future by fusing the common and secret joy of coarse amusement with a conscious desire to engage in a thoughtful dialogue about our uneasy connected existence as people in a community. Think Monty Python meets the Muppet Show. April 17-27 at the Old Fire Hall. Tickets are
$30.

Tickets for all performances go on sale on February 11 at 10:00 am at yukontickets.com. To learn more about these shows, please visit our newly-revamped website at
