Exciting Fall Line Up at Provincial Arts and Culture Centres

The province’s six Arts and Culture Centres will come alive this fall with numerous performances and events that are sure to entertain a wide variety of audiences.

“Our arts and cultural communities continue to grow in leaps and bounds, and our government remains committed to supporting our cultural industries,” said the Honourable Terry French, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Recreation. “It is great to see such a wide range of featured performances at the Arts and Culture Centres each year. I encourage residents and visitors to take in as many performances as possible and be entertained by some of the best local and national artistic talent.”

Some of the performances scheduled this season include: The Trews Acoustic Tour, Ron Hynes in concert, renowned hypnotist Cyrus, and the Masterless Men.

“We have a great line-up of events this fall,” said Aiden Flynn, Manager of Programming, Promotion and Partnerships, St. John’s Arts and Culture Centre. “There are great offerings from the local theatre community. There’s music from those who are visiting for the first time and from treasured icons that we’re welcoming back to our stage. The Arts and Culture Centres continue to be an active and important resource for artists, producers, presenters and, of course, audiences.”
