Rawlinson Centre teases upcoming season at showcase
Audiences will stomp along with a legendary tribute artist and enjoy theatre, dance and a wide range of local acts during the Fall/Winter Season at the E.A. Rawlinson Centre.
An eager crowd packed into the theatre Thursday night to watch the curtain rise on a special preview of the acts scheduled in the coming months. A wide range of artists are slated to perform in the upcoming season, from the son of Stompin’ Tom Connors, Taw, to Canadian singer-songwriter Jann Arden, along with a slew of country artists, plays, and dance performances.
The new manager of the centre, Roxanne Dicke, was elated to tease audiences with a hint of what is to come.
“It is about building excitement,” she said. “We are inundated with information in our culture, online and in every way, so to just come together and gather and say, ‘I envision myself being here and present and not watching it on YouTube or Netflix’ is important. Being part of a community and watching it together is a different experience.”
