Cathy Heron Mayor, City of St. Albert, The Botanical Arts City

Message from the Presenter

With every changing season, we have a chance to

reflect on the time and experiences that have passed and build excitement for what’s to come. Each season, it is my biggest hope that you get to make lifelong memories in our theatre and can escape the everyday hustle and bustle of life, even for just a moment. This season, we have so much to be excited about – music, dance, theatre, cirque, cinema and family programming – there’s something for everyone! I’m thrilled to welcome back patron favourites like Skerryvore, The Ennis Sisters, Sing-a-long-a Grease, as well as introduce sure-fire new favourites, Irish Mythen, Shakura S’Aida and Steve Poltz. Here’s to another remarkable year of memory-making!

Caitlin North Professional Programming Presenter, Community Services, City of St. Albert

It is important to honour and acknowledge that we are on First Nation traditional land of Treaty 6 and the homeland of the Métis people of Alberta. We acknowledge that we, as Treaty People, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, share the mutual responsibilities for stewardship and sustainability of our environment, cultures and community within this beautiful land.

How close is freedom for four abducted children?

By AnnA Borowiecki Staff Writer In a surprising turn of world events, Dr. Saren Mahmudi-Azer, an Iranian-Canadian father wanted for allegedly kidnapping his four Canadian children last August has been detained by Iranian officials says his ex-wife.

Alison Azer held a media conference in Ottawa Tuesday. She stated that the Iranian authorities, acting on Canada’s red Interpol notice, detained her ex-husband on June 12 in the province of West Azerbaijan.

“He has appeared in Iranian courts, is currently out on bail with mobility restrictions, and will make another court appearance in the coming weeks,” Azer said.

The St. Albert raised, Vancouver Island resident added her ex-husband is being monitored and is slated to appear before the courts in Urmina, Iran.

Before he allegedly abducted the children, Saren Azer was a widely respected physician on Vancouver Island with a gold-plated career.

Kenney’s bid to unite right gets reaction

By DoUG neUMAn Staff Writer Former federal cabinet minister Jason Kenney’s plan to seek the Progressive Conservative leadership and unite the right has prompted mixed reactions across the province and in the St. Albert area.

Many who hold conservative views welcome Kenney’s announcement, delivered Wednesday in Calgary, but there are indications he may not receive such a warm reception from the PC party he hopes to lead into a merger.

Trace

by Red Sky Performance DANCE/MUSIC

Friday, October 11 7:30 PM* • From $42 Adult • From $20 Student To be traceable, you must have an origin. Trace, by Red Sky Performance, is a cutting-edge new dance and music production that explores Indigenous connections to ancestral origins and all things traceable to the very beginnings of the universe.

Trace looks at mapping, lineage and DNA, as well as any visible marks that we leave behind like a footprint, fossil or legacy.

Trace is not only inspired by Indigenous cosmology, our sky and star stories, but also, the complex traces of our deep past and future. Led by founder and artistic director Sandra Laronde of the Teme-Augama-Anishinaabe (People of the Deep Water) in northern Ontario, Red Sky Performance has garnered international acclaim for nearly 20 years and remains at the forefront of contemporary Indigenous performance in Canada and worldwide.

California Guitar Trio & Montreal Guitar Trio JAZZ/ROCK/CLASSICAL

Saturday, October 19 7:30 PM • From $45 An acoustic exploration that’s music to your ears! Shattering stylistic expectations of what is possible when six of the world’s best guitarists share the stage, the Montreal Guitar Trio (MG3) and California Guitar Trio (CGT) become one voice as they crisscross the universe of progressive rock, world, jazz and classical music genres. While each trio offers a uniquely different sound, the dynamic ensemble, with over 40 years of combined performing experience, will play original compositions as well as innovative takes on some of the greatest rock classics of all time. MG3’s nylon strings, virtuosity, creativity and dynamic stage presence is perfectly paired with the dazzling musicianship and steel strings of CGT. Touring together for almost a decade, this sextet is a force to be reckoned with.

Martin Sexton FOLK

Sunday, October 20 7:30 PM • From $36 New York singer-songwriter Martin Sexton got his start singing in the streets and subways of Boston, Massachusetts, in the early 1990s. Still fiercely independent and headlining venues from The Fillmore to Carnegie Hall, Sexton has influenced a generation of contemporary artists. While his songs have appeared in television series such as Scrubs and Parenthood, as well as in numerous films, it’s his incendiary live shows, honest lyrics and vocal prowess that keeps fans coming back for more! Remember that mix tape your friend made for you way back when – the one that’s etched in your soul? Well, Sexton’s 2019 critically acclaimed release Mixtape of the Open Road is that musical cross-country trip that blazes through all territories of style and cruises through time and place.
