Strathspey Performing Arts Centre

Welcome to Strathspey Performing Arts Centre! Home to live music, arts & culture, and tradition.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Inverness County, this world class, professional theatre has played host to international and local performers alike. As an integral piece of the community for locals and a “must-see” for visitors, this venue has a passion for performance!

✨ Don't miss your tickets! ✨🎭 Brenda MacLennan-Dunphy's SQUARES DANCING IN '69 is a riot and was SUCH a hit when it premiered last year - you won't want to miss it! 📆 Friday July 4, 7:30pm🎟 Tickets: www.eventbrite.ca/e/kitchenfest-squares-dancing-in-69-tickets-1365035230119?aff=oddtdtcreatorIt’s New Years Eve 1969 and Johnny Cool (Jamie Collins) and Claudine (Anne Gillis) are on the stage! There’s electricity in the air after a decade of free love and political upheavals that has reached even into rural Cape Breton. So much has changed since televisions started dominating even in ceilidh houses. The Pig’n’Whistle show, which has inspired country music and Irish music at the dances with the bar right in the hall rather than out in the parking lot, has put square dances out of fashion.That doesn’t sit well with the MacAulay sisters (Brenda MacLennan-Dunphy, Elizabeth Matheson and Darlene Ellis), but they can’t resist coming out to this new type of dance, even with the bar, to spend the end of the decade with their neighbours. Alec Pat (Lawrence Cameron) and Dan Peter (Robert Pringle) are going to be there too, and well, Dan Peter has been taking in a lot of that “hippie” talk, and that doesn’t always sit well with Alec Pat, but then again, what does? The young crew (Siobhan Beaton, Lauren Boyd, Rebecca Dunphy, Martin Thomsen, and Theo Feehan-Peters) are looking at the ‘70’s as a time of new beginnings, but what will that mean for them?From Ring of Fire to Time Gentlemen Please, it’s going to be a jam-packed evening of entertainment!If you've seen it already you can come back to enjoy a new line-up, including four of our incredible volunteers/board members! It's guaranteed to leave a smile on your face 😁Hosted by Colaisde na Gàidhlig / The Gaelic College as part of KitchenFest / Féis a’ Chidsin #visitcapebreton #capebreton #mabou #visitnovascotia #local #livemusic #strathspeyplace #novascotia #ruraltheatre #supportlocal #supportlivemusic #theatre #pignwhistle #laughs #sqauredancing #localtheatre ...
