Multi Juno Award winning roots music artist Lester Quitzau, and one of Canada’s most creative, tasteful and multi award winning drummers – Sandro Dominelli will be performing at Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre (OSPAC) 8426 Gateway Boulevard in Edmonton on May 24.

His unique style and fluidity on slide, acoustic and electric guitars, coupled with well crafted songs and warm vocals, are the fruits of this musical journey.
Having played together in many situations, beginning 29 years ago with the then touted supergroup, ‘ A Love Supreme’ , Lester Quitzau and Sandro Dominelli, will again explore the space between the notes, as much as the notes themselves, locking into open spontaneous grooves where anything is possible.

When Life Gives You Melons By Kate Sheridan
2024-07-12 - 2024-07-13 | Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre, 8426 Gateway Blvd, Edmonton, Canada
“When Life Gives You Melons” is an innovative and heartwarming production that delves into the challenges and triumphs of living with dyslexia. Sheridan, who holds a Masters in Fine Arts from the University of Alberta, skillfully combines her talents in acting, writing, and directing to create a unique theatrical experience. Through the use of physical comedy, Sheridan brings humour and empathy to a topic often misunderstood.
Kate Sheridan expressed her passion for the project, stating, “Dyslexia is often seen as a hindrance, but I wanted to show that it can also be a source of strength and creativity. ‘When Life Gives You Melons’ is not just about dyslexia; it’s about embracing our differences and finding joy in the unexpected.”
Sheridan’s approach to storytelling is both entertaining and enlightening, using her own experiences and extensive research to inform the narrative. The play promises to resonate with audiences of all ages, offering a blend of laughter, insight, and inspiration.
