From Library Voices: Re THE CURST (a pop as f**k fantasia) POSTPONED

from Michael Scott Dawson of Library Voices:

"A telltale sign that a band has jumped the shark is when they announce that they're going to make a rock opera...

Things have been relatively quiet around the ol' Library Voices camp for the last few months (years) but I'm happy to share that we have been quietly collaborating with award winning playwright Kelley Jo Burke on a new work titled The Curst. The story centres around the fictitious characters that exist within our lyrics. It also features a bunch of new LV songs that likely won't ever exist elsewhere.

The Curst runs May 1-17 at Dancing Sky Theatre and there are only a limited number of tickets remaining. https://ontheboards.ca/events/the-curst/

Just so it's clear, I also wanted to point out that we are not in the theatre piece. They've cast a wonderful group of immensely talented professionals who portray a far more believable band than Library Voices ever could... We do plan to be around though, sipping wine and eating chicken burgers from the gas station up the street. xo"

The Lucky Ones, is a story of mature love. It’s about Enid and Marty, who met by chance and despite genuine doubts about human relationships, fell for each other one summer night.  This touching and funny play is about their marriage, their life together, and the end of their life together.

The Lucky Ones is a companion piece to Kelley Jo's award winning play The Selkie Wife, which Dancing Sky Theatre premiered in 2008.

Somewhere, Sk at Dancing Sky Theatre in April 2013--join the dream!

Join me on a journey to “Somewhere, SK”—a play that I’ve created with the award-winning and totally lovely singer-song-writer Carrie Catherine. I wrote words. She wrote songs. And together we sculpted a piece of theatre/music about an abandoned, decrepit, small prairie town that gets discovered and transformed into a vibrant place where artists thrive and voices sing.

We’re raising money to make a record and put on a production of “Somewhere, SK” at Dancing Sky Theatre—a community hall renovated into a theatre that has reinvigorated the cultural scene in the small town of Meacham. When you contribute to this project, you become part of this story of renewal, community, and music! You’ll get rewards: music, jewelry, art from an amazing community of artists and collaborators. Or you could sing on the album. Or, Carrie will serenade your lover!

“Somewhere, SK” is inspired by all the hidden gems across the province where we’ve toured and performed. Our friends at Routes Gallery, The Happy Nun, The Lyric, The Hayloft, Regina’s Creative City Centre, the New Ground Cafe are all part of this story. And we will take this play on the road to even more prairie communities, integrating their story into ours and including them on our map of found places that celebrate the arts. The Ghostown Blues B & B, The Kerry Vickar Centre, The Artesian, The Bruno Arts Bank—be part of the story!
