SUMMARY:Chelsey Grewar: The Wannabe Cowgirl Tour
DESCRIPTION:Chelsey Grewar is saddling up and taking herself on a stand-up tour through the wild west of Canada with The Wannabe Cowgirl Tour visiting Vancouver’s Little Mountain Gallery on April 10\, Calgary’s The Attic Bar & Stage on April 15\, and Edmonton’s Grindstone Theatre on April 18. With charm\, relatability\, and a bit of chaos\, Chelsey Grewar captivates audiences with self-deprecating jokes that feel like your bestie oversharing (in a good way). \nThe Wannabe Cowgirl Tour\, which received a 2025 CANCOM Comedy Grant from the Foundation of Canadian Comedy\, will put Chelsey’s prairie influenced comedy to the test where the real cowgirlies are. Chelsey is a rising star in Toronto’s comedy scene\, known for her storytelling and observational comedy such as revealing why being a twin isn’t always fun\, especially when you’re the weird one. Her comedy explores feminism\, generational divides\, sexuality\, navigating adult friendships\, bad luck with employment\, and – of course – horse girls.

SUMMARY:La Bohème
DESCRIPTION:One of opera’s most enduring love stories\, set in the world’s most romantic city\, rendered with the most vibrant characters and melodies. Puccini’s masterpiece transports us to the heart of 1890s bohemian life in Paris\, where love blossoms amidst dreams\, hardships\, and the unyielding pursuit of artistic freedom. La Bohème has remained one of the most beloved and frequently performed operas worldwide since its 1896 premiere\, due in large part to captivating pieces like “Quando m’en vo”\, a.k.a. “Musetta’s Waltz”\, and perhaps the most famous duet in opera\, “O soave fanciulla”\, sung on that moonlit moment when Mimì and Rodolfo fall in love.
