The live theater capture of the hit musical Hadestown, which won eight Tony Awards in 2019 including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, featuring the five original principals of the Broadway company. The genre-defying new musical blends modern American folk music with New Orleans-inspired jazz to reimagine a sweeping ancient tale. Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.
Come join the Astor Academy Radio Theatre Camp as they put on a skit show, "Panic at The Radio Station" that spans parody, satire, and slapstick, all set in a News Broadcasting Station in Halifax. Completely written and voiced by our talented youth, this production will make you laugh and cry, so come out this Friday at 5pm.

Seniors Connecting was created in 2021 and facilitated by Sandi Atkinson.
Seniors meet weekly for a time of connection and enjoy coffee, tea and snacks together. Each week, they sing, dance, and do crafts. They even performed a Christmas Radio Play that aired on QCCR two years running.
