SUMMARY:KitchenFest: Squares Dancing in '69
DESCRIPTION:It’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. \nThat 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 (Steve MacDougall) 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? \nFrom Ring of Fire to Time Gentlemen Please\, it’s going to be a jam-packed evening of entertainment! Tickets available here.
