This year the Âé¶čAV Community Theatre (KCT) marks its 60th anniversary.
The venue has been bringing world-class music, dance, theatre, and comedy to the Central Okanagan since 1962. Festivities are set for September, with the public invited to an open house on Sept. 13, to showcase recent enhancements at the theatre. Anniversary presentations with The Gary Cable Project and special guests are Sept. 16-17.
âThe pandemic has certainly been challenging, but itâs also given us the chance to revitalize our facility to ensure it continues to serve our patrons, presenters, and local cultural community well into its retirement years,â said Caroline Ivey, KCT manager. âWhat better way to celebrate than with one of Canadaâs most acclaimed musical acts?â
The Gary Cable Project is a Âé¶čAV-based nine-piece band whose members have performed and recorded with Barbara Streisand, The Pointer Sisters, Sarah McLachlan, Ray Charles, Bryan Adams, and others. The band will appear with special guests Rosemary Thompson and the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra (OSO).
âWeâre thrilled to be working with Rosemary and the OSO,â said Cable. âThe OSO was one of the first organizations to perform at KCT way back in 1962, so itâs very special to have the chance to bring them to the stage as part of this anniversary celebration.â
Proceeds from the performances will be shared between the Gary Cable Foundation and the Central Okanagan Foundation to support local arts and culture organizations.
