SUMMARY:Chimera Theatre's The Freudian Slips Strip n Sip Improv
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:00pm Show 7:30pm\nJoin the Freudian Slips into their latest adventure into the world of improv and clothing removal for the ever saucy Strip n Sip! A tradition dating back the troupe’s roots\, the Slips take on the Strip n’ Sip form is not to be missed where our improvisers will engage in several interconnected scenes throughout the evening. The twist of course\, is the stripping and the sipping. A clock will be ticking down from THREE minutes – and within that timer they must take a drink in the context of the scene\, from our notorious shot table. If the slips forget or are unable to take a drink before the timer reaches zero\, the alarm will reset and improvisers will have to remove clothing in the context of the scene! This twist on a crowd favourite theme is sure to tickle and titilate!

SUMMARY:PIERRE BENSUSAN - ONE GUITAR\, ONE VOICE - 50TH ANNIVERSARY  - KAMLOOPS
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 Show 730 Minors Allowed Accompanied by an Adult \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1281856751049 \nIf World Music means the fusion of traditional\, contemporary\, jazz\,\nclassical and pop music\, then Bensusan is one of the most eloquent\nWorld Music musicians of our time. A pianist in his beginnings then self-\ntaught on the guitar\, the originality of his style makes him one of today’s\ngreatest guitarists and composers for the instrument. Also called “The\nPrince of DADGAD”\, the Rose d’Or of the Montreux Festival\, elected\nBest Guitarist of World Music by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine!\nHis triple album “Encore” won the Grand Prix of the Independent Music\nAwards in the category Best Live Album… Since his first performances in\n1974 in France\, the guitarist has sold half a million albums and given\nthousands of concerts around the globe\, both solo and through\nnumerous collaborations.\nPierre Bensusan is an adventurer of unusual lands. His almost “sacred”\nmusic is an intimate and orchestral hymn\, a solo crossing on a multi-shell\nLowden guitar subjected to the natural elements with sound molecules\nand finger pulp on an ebony fingerboard for open tuning – an unique and\ntransparent technique\, under the fingers of an adventurous pilgrim.\n“Listening to Pierre’s music is rejuvenating. Beside his extraordinary\ntouch and tone\, the notes and melody appeal directly to the tender side\nof our human nature”\nSteve Vai \n“This is beautiful… Pierre is one of the GREATS!!!”\nTommy Emmanuel Cgp.\nWith only his steel-string-acoustic guitar – and sometimes his rich\,\naffecting voice – Mr Bensusan can disassemble your heart and hand it\nback to you restored and renewed. As he did to mine tonight. A true\ngiant.”\nJames Volpe Rotondi (former senior editor at Guitar Player Magazine) \nTICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1281856751049
