Here’s What’s Happening in 2011!
The Klondike Rag returns for a tour of British Columbia this Fall. See a preview on Youtube below. This was recently presented at the historic McPherson Playhouse in Victoria, the perfect venue for this vaudeville themed show! Alexander Pantages built this theatre in 1914, 15 years after he used to work as a waiter at the Palace Grande Theatre in Dawson City – the very theatre where Mr. Desnoyers performed as “The Rag-Time Kid” in 1999.
Our new musical “Explorer Idol” will go into rehearsals in January before launching in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta. We’re excited to produce this new show – a pop/rock pastiche in the style of a “star search” T.V. program. It’ll feature electric guitar, bass and drums.
In Spring of 2011, we’ll be touring our popular boogie-woogie, bluegrass musical, The Birth of the C.P.R., with the original cast in B.C. and Alberta. We return to the McPherson Playhouse for one show only performance on April 10th.
