If we are all craving the thunder of drums and footsteps on stage, the glow of spotlights and smiles, a story unspooling before us, the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre Society’s SPOTLIGHT Series is set to deliver the magic of live performance.
“This is a special series for us and for our community,” said Jim Harding, executive director, VDPAC, about the long-awaited return of a ‘regular’ season, though the adapted online and livestreamed shows were terrific too. “We’ve all missed the chance to gather and be entertained in this really innate and important way, and our team can’t wait to turn on the lights and draw the curtain on this season in a safe, inviting and truly theatrical environment.”

Fourteen performances: eight special presentations that range from the world-renowned Afrique en Cirque to Canada’s beloved Blackie and the Rodeo Kings; two dance performances, including the UK’s Bromance, a story of friendship told with parkour and acrobatics; three theatre performances, including The Invisible-Agents of Ungentlemanly Warfare about women operatives; and one incredible children’s festival.
