five years
to celebrate!
A full house at the opening night Kinsmen production of Beauty and the Beast
was the first performance I attended at the newly restored Grand in May 2008.
Volunteers, donors, artists, councillors, business owners and members of the
public were thrilled at the unveiling. The community put its faith in me to craft
a lineup of world-class productions with the top performers for the Grand stage.
When I introduced the Grand Theatre Presents series, many weren’t familiar with
the idea of becoming a subscriber, but in the 2012/13 season we’ve had more
than 1700 subscribers with new people joining us each year. So many of these
series are supported by local sponsors and donors who care about the theatre and
the unique experiences we offer. I thank the Grand Theatre Foundation for its
investment to bring the performing arts to people of all ages.
This year we are introducing a wider range of seating and pricing options. On page
5, you’ll find a chart that explains all these prices, but if you have any questions,
please contact our box office. The staff is ready to help you make your picks for the
season, and help you select the best price and seat.
Many of our theatre, Broadway, dance and music performances travel to us from
across the globe. What makes their performance in Kingston unique is the history
of the Grand, the vibrant downtown setting and the warm welcome you, the
audience, offer them each and every performance.
We all have our funny, emotional or moving memories from the performances
over the past five years, and I hope you will share yours with me. Cheers to
another great season ahead.
Sincerely,
Brian McCurdy,
Cultural Director, City of Kingston

A look at the Grand Theatre’s role at the centre of local arts and culture
By Jane Deacon
On a bright morning in late March,
Dianne Zemba’s office is a hive of
activity buzzing with preparations for
the evening’s two performances. Above
her desk hangs a colour-coded calendar
listing every show scheduled at the
Grand Theatre over the coming months.
From a three-day regional dance
competition to a touring tribute music
artist to community theatre, almost
every date on the calendar features
something. Zemba is quick to point
out that it doesn’t show workshops,
conferences and receptions — there’s a
separate calendar for that. As theatre
manager, Zemba understands first-hand
7
what many Kingstonians may not know:
the Grand Theatre is a very busy place.
Throughout the year, the Grand
Theatre team performs a finely
tuned juggling act of producing
performances by hundreds of artists
while simultaneously providing venue
rental space, artistic development
opportunities and ticketing services.
With rental opportunities available
through the Regina Rosen Auditorium,
Baby Grand and the Davies and
Springer lounges, the Grand Theatre
calendar is diverse. There are the
ongoing “Grand Theatre Presents”
performances curated by cultural
director Brian McCurdy, year-round
shows by resident companies who
have ongoing realationships with the
Grand, and one-time venue rentals
for touring performers and local arts
and community groups. “We’re open
to anybody who has a good idea, if the
space is right for them,” says Zemba,
who once helped co-ordinate an onstage
wedding proposal at the theatre. Over
the past year, the Grand has featured
events for Kingston WritersFest,
Kingston Canadian Film Festival and
Queen’s Vogue Charity Fashion Show,
to name just a few. It has also hosted
“There’s a whole
life that happens
there and it’s always
buzzing.”
central
receptions, business conferences,
weddings and a local Brownies troupe,
who toured the theatre and practiced
skits onstage.
United Way Next Gen hosts its annual
beer and whisky festival at the Grand
Theatre, with vendors set up in the
lobby and the Davies Lounge, and live
music and workshops in the adjacent
theatre. The flexibility of the venue,
coupled with the enthusiasm and
support of theatre staff, is key to the
success of the event, says Bhavana
Varma, president and CEO of United
Way KFL&A.
201314
Providing professional technical
event support along with artistic
development opportunities is vital
to the Grand Theatre and Cultural
Services’ mandate to help arts and
culture thrive. This includes services
like marketing advice for community
theatre companies and co-ordinating
content between community groups so
their offerings complement each other.
“When groups are at our venue, we
try to go above and beyond being more
than just a rental property,” says Julie
Fossitt, Cultural Services’ marketing
and communications administrator.
One recent example was a workshop
on best practices for community music
presenters hosted by the Grand with
free attendance for local organizations.
The Grand Theatre staff also works
to provide multiple opportunities
for Kingstonians to engage with
the professional acts that visit the
theatre. Events like pre- and post-show
discussions, music and theatre master
classes, and extra shows with accessible
ticket prices make the theatre a lively
hub of community arts engagement and
development, says Fossitt. “There’s a
whole life that happens there and it’s
always buzzing.”

Dancing
With
Rage
Friday September 27 7:30pm
Series: Homestead Theatre
Canadian actress, comedienne and social
activist Mary Walsh unleashes her rage
to do battle on a grand scale. A woman
who is going blind finally starts to see.
A mother who travels across the country
to find her lost child, rediscovers the
child she has always had. A little girl
who is always searching for her place
in the world, finds that she’s already
there. Dancing with Rage follows all
their stories while summoning the help
of some familiar faces: Marg Delahuntey,
a Warrior Princess; Dakey Dunn; Miss
Eulalia Turpin; Mom Reardon; Connie
Bloor. Walsh will navigate the rage
brought on by pop culture, politics and
capitalism while taking on her vibrant
and constantly emerging characters.
By incorporating current events, each
performance of Dancing with Rage will
be fresh, exciting and always up to the
minute.

the very witty scenes they invent before
your eyes.
Audience participation is the key to

Line Is It Anyway’ plus some new ones.
It’s a night of unforgettably, funny
interactive comedy!
Gryphon Trio:
Constantinople
Series: Classical Remix
With a soundtrack written by one of the country’s most profilic living composers,
Constantinople is a tapestry of music from across the globe performed by one of
the world’s top chamber ensembles and set against a backdrop of vibrant images.
Violinist Annalee Patipatanakoon, pianist Jamie Parker and cellist Roman Borys,
along with vocalists Maryem Hassan Tollar and Patricia O’Callaghan, perform in
this multi-disciplinary theatre work. Constantinople explores the spirit of this
ancient city: the cultural crossroads of East and West, a diverse urban centre
often challenged by political division and clashes of faith, and a reminder of what
can be beautiful in our complex, often divergent modern existence.
Conceived and composed by Christos Hatzis
Produced and performed by the Gryphon Trio
with vocalists Maryem Hassan Tollar and Patricia O’Callaghan

Ron
Sexsmith
Series: Homestead Songwriter
Ron is a singer-songwriter acclaimed
by a galaxy of artists from Bob Dylan
to Elton John, Chris Martin to Michael
Bublé, Steve Earle to Lucinda Williams.
Noted for his insight into the human
heart and a melodic purity (to paraphrase
admirer Elvis Costello) unheard since
the heyday of Paul McCartney, you’ll
find him following the Sex Pistols in any
self-respecting encyclopedia of modern
music. Sexsmith’s impressive body of
work is one that very few songwriting
recording artists, living or dead, can
match for its consistently sky-high
quality. Sexsmith’s latest album, ‘Forever
Endeavour,’ evokes melancholy without
being maudlin, spare without being
simplistic, and his songs are invariably
underpinned by an acceptance of life as
it actually is.

Series: Canadian Tire KidStage
In a captivating 60-minute performance, Boo! explores a series of dance, mime,
clown and circus vignettes that brings forth wonder and smiles in a world
where the poetry of the body is at the forefront. Meet two of Boo!’s amusing and
enchanting characters: Cyril and Penelope TopsyTurvy. Cyril is gifted with a
natural talent for movement - for the stage. In this dreamlike presentation, we
are witness to the unfolding of this precious treasure. Penelope TopsyTurvy is
polite, beautiful and sweet - so like a princess on the outside. On the inside she
feels stuck and imprisoned by this artificial beauty. Penelope is beside herself;
inside a revolt is brewing. This quirky, family-friendly show stirs up giggles with
its curious characters, articulate movement and playful partnering.

Saturday October 26 7:30pm
Series: Global Beat
A guitarist born in France to Canadian parents, one of this country’s most beloved
instrumentalists has taken a creative recess from his signature rumba and flamenco
guitar virtuosity for his most recent album. Jesse Cook’s ‘The Blue Guitar Sessions’
was inspired by Adele’s ‘blue mood’ release ‘21,’ and the result is a captivating
14-track album recorded on a pair of vintage microphones, which he exhaustively
searched for to replicate the mood of recordings from the Miles Davis era.

In this autobiographical script, Mani
Soleymanlou traces his own journey
from his birthplace in Iran to his
current residence in Montreal, passing
through Paris, Toronto and Ottawa. This
journey leads the author to question the
authenticity of his own Persian origins,
which seem small and insignificant
compared to the Persian youth currently
living in Iran, who must fight daily for
their liberty, their freedom of speech,

The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble,
regarded as one of the greatest folkloric
dance ensembles in the world, was
established in 1951. Its aims were to
collect and play authentic folk music, and
to preserve the folk dances and traditional
costumes of Hungary and Hungarianinhabited areas by putting them on stage
before the public. During the more than
four-and-a-half decades of its existence,
the Ensemble has achieved its aim by
revitalizing the culture of the Hungarian
people.
The Ensemble has performed in 44
countries across four continents and won
the admiration of an audience of more
than seven-and-a-half million people.
The choreographies are all based on
authentic dances, some of them collected
in isolated villages with dance elements
dating back hundreds of years. The
extraordinary folk music that inspired
Liszt, Bartók and Kodály is put on stage by
both the Folk Orchestra and the worldfamous Gipsy Orchestra. The members
of the Folk Orchestra play authentic,
traditional instruments and perform
Hungarian folk music at its highest artistic
level.

Series: Fenlon & Daly
Entertainers
It’s been nearly 40 years since Tim Hauser, a former Madison Avenue marketing
executive, paid his bills by driving a New York City cab while aspiring to form a vocal
quartet of four-part harmonies without limits.
One of Hauser’s taxi fares invited him to a party where he met Brooklyn native
Janis Siegel. Although already in a group, Siegel agreed to help out on some demos.
Alan Paul was co-starring in the original production of ‘Grease’ when he joined the
group to become the third member of The Manhattan Transfer. Cheryl Bentyne, a
stunning singer from Mt. Vernon, Washington, gave a dazzling audition and the other
Manhattan Transfer members immediately felt her impact, invited her to join and,
as they say, the rest is history.
The critical praise and commercial success of the group’s first seven studio albums
could hardly have prepared them for the monumental 12 Grammy nominations they
received in 1985 for the album ‘Vocalese.’ Those 12 nominations made ‘Vocalese’
the single greatest Grammy-nominated album in one year, and cemented the group’s
status as one of the most important and innovative vocal groups in the history of
popular music.
With worldwide sales in the millions, Grammy Awards by the dozen and as veterans
of sold-out world tours, The Manhattan Transfer once again prove their uncanny
knack for being ahead of the times.

Accompanying Belushi are Robert Belushi, Larry Joe Campbell, Jon Barinholtz and Brad
Morris, all of whom are classically trained professional improvisers who tour regularly.
“We are not stand-up comedians,” Belushi explains. “Our show is not a passive, sit-backand-watch experience. Most of the fun we have on stage comes from our inclusion of the
audience – we get suggestions from them to begin each scene we perform, and in certain
instances, bring them on stage with us to add to our performance. It’s less a ‘show’ and
more a party. At least it feels like one to me. This group of actors brings me right back to
how I started out in comedy – maybe that’s why we have so much fun doing it.”

together to record what was supposed to be a one-off tribute album to the great
Canadian songwriter Willie P. Bennett. At the time, all three members were deeply
committed to burgeoning solo careers that they had no intention of putting on
hold, and had no plans to turn Blackie into an ongoing concern.
Now into their second decade and with one Juno award and several Juno
nominations under their belts, Blackie & the Rodeo Kings has organically evolved
into one of the finest roots-oriented bands in North America. They have released
seven CDs and gradually developed a feeling of brotherhood manifested in a sense
of groove and melodic and rhythmic play that is distinctive, mystical, energizing

“Hair still has something

include ‘Aquarius,’ ‘Let the Sun Shine
In,’ ‘Good Morning, Starshine’ and ‘Easy

The musical’s profanity, its depiction of
the use of illegal drugs, its sexuality, its

Leahy
Canadian?
Contented.
“We’re not
like Americans.”
This is the immediate reaction of many
Canadians when faced with questions
about our national identity, even when
not put into context of our biggest and
closest neighbours. There’s something
to be said for that, but I’ve always found
it funny that we hesitate (even for a
moment) to go any deeper.
I like to think that as a nation, we try not
to take ourselves too seriously. We love
the water. We care about one another,
and are notoriously polite and welcoming
to strangers in our midst. Our tradition
of oral history is long and strong, and
I think that’s reflected in the art and
culture we partake in.
I’ve heard it said that without the
strong CRTC regulations regarding
Canadian content on our television and
radio stations, Canadians would likely
be sucked up into the great machine
of American media, and without
concentrated effort, we might never
hear another Canadian song, or see
201314
another Canadian show again. This is a
sentiment with which I strongly disagree.
From a personal standpoint, when in
contact with friends from around the
world, I make a specific point of trying
to tune them in to my most Canadian of
artistic indulgences of a given moment.
What I’ve been watching, what I’ve been
listening to. It’s important to me to share
these things with them because I feel
like they often go deeper than just being
great songs or great shows; they’re like
little portraits of the very core of my
being.
It’s this notion that keeps Canada’s
great artists working for so long. Once
their niche has been carved out in the
hearts and minds of the fans, they’re
nearly impossible to replace. Mary
Walsh’s (pg. 9) enduring ‘22 Minutes’
character Marg Delahunty continues
to make appearances in the Canadian
landscape nearly 10 years after her
departure from the show of her origin,
still asking the same hilarious and tough
questions of our politicians that she
always has. Musically, there comes an
outfit like Blackie & the Rodeo Kings
Blackie &
The Rodeo
Kings
By thommy fairley
(pg. 24), formed by a group of musicians
- icons in their own right - to pay tribute
to the songs of Willie P. Bennett, an
artist whose own career spanned three
decades. What started as a hobby project
has stretched out over two decades and
produced five albums. A more extreme
example might be Leahy (pg. 22), the
band of siblings that began playing the
Canadian and international folk circuits
in the early 80s, and continues to do
so today. We are so fortunate to be the
beneficiaries of their longevity.
With Canada’s role in international
affairs becoming more and more
intrinsically linked to that of the United
States, I think in our personal lives as
Canadians we are clinging even more
fiercely to those things that set us apart.
We need to stay connected to the sounds
and voices of our country – now more
than ever.

Pianist Christopher O’Riley and cellist Matt Haimovitz join together to explore the
lyrical and virtuosic properties of their instruments in a collaboration that crosses in
and out of the classical and pop music genres.
The program showcases their talents as collaborators and soloists, defining what
it means to be an artist in the 21st-century. Audiences will hear works of Bach and
Gabrielli, Radiohead and Arcade Fire, Piazzolla and Stravinsky.
Christopher O’Riley is recognized as one of the leading American pianists of his
generation, touring extensively as a recitalist and chamber musician and appearing
with every major orchestra. He hosts the popular NPR music program ‘From the
Top’ and has released a set of highly regarded recordings of the music of Radiohead,
Nick Drake and others. O’Riley studied with Russell Sherman at the New England
Conservatory of Music.
Matt Haimovitz made his debut at the age of 13 as a soloist with Zubin Mehta and the
Isreal Philharmonic. By age 17, he made his first recording for Deutsche Grammophon

Volcano Theatre presents
A Beautiful
View
by Daniel
MacIvor
March 12 - 23
A Beautiful View explores friendship. Specifically, a friendship between two
young women that spans over a decade of their lives, and that moves through
many phases: fun, confusion, misunderstanding, betrayal, longing for reconciliation,
fear, and finally, death.
MacIvor’s play is subversive in its apparent simplicity, with its light comic tone: two
women arrive on a stage, and tell the story of their relationship. It’s funny and quirky
and wonderfully entertaining. Gradually, we realize that stories of camping and bands
are not entirely what the evening is about...
Volcano brings this hit production back to Canada, in association with BeMe Theatre,
Munich. Direction is by Volcano’s founding Artistic Director Ross Manson, with
Canadian actors Becky Johnson and Amy Rutherford, and German composer Krister
Schuchardt.

Performing in the Baby Grand
“The reality of life that A Beautiful View shows us is like
the bittersweet ukelele duet of the two main characters: sometimes
a fragile interplay, sometimes a rhythmic drift. But under the
surface is revealed a search for deep meaning. Thanks above all
to their wonderful leading actors, they manage something
that others need volumes to achieve: an authentic portrait of a
generation, its hopes, its fears.”

Kidd Pivot:
The
Tempest
Replica
“My hope for the viewer is that,
armed with the plot points
of a narrative, he or she is
more deeply invested in the
performance: the choreography
becomes more than just a dance
between two people – rather, it is
imbued with a story we have all
shared,” Pite says of the work.
Friday March 21 7:30pm
Series: Dance
In this new dance piece, based on motifs from Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest,’ Pite
stages a game of revenge and forgiveness, reality and imagination. She explores
these motifs in two contexts: a maquette of Shakespeare’s island as a metaphor
for isolation, captivity and desire, and a nostalgic cityscape that evokes longing.
Chalk-white replicas deliver the essential plot points of the story, but the emotion
and tension of the narrative are fleshed out by real characters. To explore and
demonstrate this duplication of character and copy, the story and the body, requires
something incomparably precious: the mastery and articulation of the dancer.

incessant online harassment
of a fellow student, not all is

Or have they even caught the

This tour-de-force one-man show transports audiences back
to 1849. Actor/playwright Mike Wiley stars as Henry “Box”
Brown, an African-American born into slavery. In an act
of sheer desperation after being sold, Brown escapes and
sees no alternative but to mail himself north in a wooden
crate in this edge-of-your-seat attempt to reunite with his
wife and children in Philadelphia. Brown’s life unfolds like
a Mark Twain adventure, perilous and somber at times yet
humourous and heroic throughout. Audience members join
Wiley onstage, quickly becoming pivotal players who help
propel the action.

WhatOur
Say
Sponsors
When our sponsors choose to support the Grand Theatre,
they do so for myriad reasons – from a love of show business to a wish to
connect with their community. Meet some of the people behind the logos.
“My love of the Grand Theatre goes back to
1926 when Blackstone the Magician (famous at
the time), in his performance at the Grand, let me
come up on stage. To my amazement he produced
a live rabbit out of an empty kettle and gave it to
me to take home. A few years later I was one
of the children in a Christmas pantomime of
‘The Pied Piper.’ The excitement and discipline
of timing behind the scenes fascinated me and
left me hooked on theatricals.”
– Brit Smith, Homestead Land Holdings
“If I could bring anyone to a Grand Theatre show
with me, I would have brought my grandparents.
All four of them were great lovers of the arts.
They would absolutely love the venue and would
have enjoyed the show so much.”
– Jacob Caldwell, Caldwell Advisory
“The introduction of the Kingston Jazz Festival
provided an opportunity for Empire Life to support
something a little different to what we had been doing
in the past. It has a fabulous lineup of performances,
and the Porch Jazz and Skeleton Park Music Festival
events mean that more of our friends and neighbours
and visitors to Kingston get to feel and enjoy the jazz!”
– Julie Tompkins, Empire Life
“When picking a particular show, the atmosphere of the event is
particularly important to us. The arts can evoke many emotions in
people… We hope to sponsor events that help promote a feeling
of joy and exuberance. To be sponsor of Randy Bachman (March 1,
2013) will be a wonderful memory to keep. After all, I grew up with his
music. His storytelling provided a lot of insight as to how artists get
their inspiration.” – Michael Caldwell, Caldwell Advisory

Jill Barber has always had stars in her
eyes. It’s a natural side effect of gazing up
at the moon and composing songs bathed
in its silvery glow.
Inspired by the great ladies of song
like Ella Fitzgerald and Edith Piaf,
Barber reached for a place on the
international stage with the release of
2008’s ‘Chances.’ It was a turning point
in her career, says Barber. “I think it’s
important to experiment and try on a
number of musical hats to a point, but
eventually you have figure out what your
own contribution is going to be. When I
finished writing and recording ‘Chances,’
something clicked.”

Indeed, romance plays a huge role in both

Barber has also begun to cross language
barriers. Inspired by her growing Frenchspeaking fan base and her admiration
for la vie en rose, Barber now sings and
records in both English and French.
Barber has released ‘Chansons,’ an album
of her own interpretations of classic
French songs from both France and
Québec.
“Singing in French has been like
rediscovering my voice, my instrument.
The French language, particularly when
sung, is very beautiful to me. It is a great
pleasure for me to sing, and I think that
enjoyment comes through.”
This performance will include songs
in both languages, but is primarily an
English-language show.

In a makeshift shelter, an unknown catastrophe waits outside the doors of tarp and gaffer
tape. Seven characters have constructed a clubhouse to live to the fullest what they believe
could be their last moments, hoping to leave nothing unsaid or undone. In the face of this
impending disaster they have determined that creation is the only antidote to destruction.
This is Traces, a unique theatre experience created by the celebrated Quebecois group
7 Fingers. Founded in Montreal in 2002, the 7 Fingers initial goal was to bring circus
to a human scale. Traces uses music, song, dance, speech, illustration and high-risk
acrobatics to tell its story. The characters use every mode of expression available to them,
hoping to leave a lasting mark… to leave their traces as best they can.
Traces is poetic and explosive, humorous and thoughtful. Combining traditional acrobatic
forms with street elements such as skateboarding and basketball, mixed in with some
theatre and contemporary dance, it surprises, awes and delights at every turn.

By now the world knows the essential story of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. They made
their debut in their hometown of Ventura, California, in April of 1993, helping
to usher in the swing revival founded on a colourful fusion of classic American
sounds including jazz, swing, and Dixieland mixed with the energy and spirit of
contemporary culture. They proved to be among the standout groups that launched
the new swing era in the 90s.
The group, whose core lineup has been in place since 1995, includes Scotty Morris
(lead vocals and guitar), Kurt Sodergren (drums and percussion), Dirk Shumaker
(double bass and vocals), Andy Rowley (baritone saxophone and vocals), Glen
“The Kid” Marhevka (trumpet), Karl Hunter (saxophones and clarinet) and Joshua
Levy (piano and arranger.) Joining them on the road are Anthony Bonsera Jr. (lead
trumpet) and Alex Henderson (trombone.)
While Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has sold millions of albums, the stage has always been
the band’s first home. “We make records because we have to, but play live because we
love to,” says Morris.
