TripAdvisor: Everything from the drinks and wine, to the appetizers and meals were absolutely perfect. Everyone loved the variety and raved about the meals. The Vancouver Islanders:ANGELA VERBRUGGE & ASHLEY WEY ATLANTIC CANADA TOURSWING, CHEMISTRY AND CHARISMAAll the way from Vancouver Island, vocalist Angela Verbrugge and pianist Ashley Wey are in Atlantic Canada to perform for you for the first-time! Angela has been touring the world singing about love gone right (or very wrong!). Her lyrics range from humorous tales of romance while trying to eat buttery corn at a summer picnic, to the mad dash panicked adventure of being late, to sweet reflections newfound infatuation, to sour reflections on feeling wholly unloveable. The whimsical style takes inspiration from vintage movie musicals (such as those with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers), traditional swing era pop and American songbook (such as those sung by Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole and Julie London), and jazz standards (such as songs performed by Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Tormé and Newfoundland vocalist Heather Bambrick). Born in Kingston, Ontario, Angela has a penchant for drama having studied theatre in Toronto (and just generally being a dramatic person!) before moving to western Canada in 1997. Verbrugge has released three critically-acclaimed albums, in 2019, 2022 and the latest in May 2024 on USA-jazz labels. She won the JazzTimes’ Magazine poll for Best Female Vocalist, and was nominated for Jazz Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards. Rave reviews of her recordings have resulted in performance opportunities in far-flung places including Japan, Türkiye, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Taiwan, UK and many Canadian provinces, all in the last four years. Her music has been played on radio around the world including CBC, NPR, and she took the number one spot of the Earshot charts multiple weeks. Angela is joined by Ashley Wey, a red-head, born-and-bred, infrared west coast pianist (yes, we love rhymes!). The vibrant, passionate and swingin’ pianist started at the tender age of 5, and turned pro at age fifteen, never looking back. She attended Humber under mentors such as Don Thompson before setting sail to play jazz on cruise lines and in Australia. Returning to settle in Victoria, she became one of the busiest most in-demand musicians as both a leader and an accompanist on Vancouver Island. An in-demand educators for all ages, Ashley spent several years as one of the captains of the ship at Hermann’s Jazz Club, helping it weather the pandemic storm… curating programming, doing sound and operations. In one moment she will deliver a ridiculously swinging Oscar Peterson tribute. In the next, she is a tasteful interpreter of soul/pop sounds. Ashley's on-stage charism and joy have built her a huge following in British Columbia. The Vancouver Islanders offer the attendees a lively evening of fun and flirty classics with a modern twist to keep audiences on their toes, which incidentally will be a-tappin. ​Jim Vivian has been at the forefront of music making in Canada for over 30 years, and has performed and/or recorded with most of the well known jazz artists working in the country today. He has also performed and recorded with many internationally esteemed artists such as John Abercrombie, Jerry Bergonzi, Mick Goodrick, David Leibman, John Taylor, Kenny Wheeler, and Norma Winstone. Originally from Newfoundland, he has spent much of his career in Toronto working with ​top names in jazz such as Mike Murley, Jeff Johnston, Don Thompson, Brian Dickinson, and John MacLeod, as well as teaching including many years at University of Toronto beginning in 2001. He appears on over 130 recordings, 30 of which have been nominated for Juno awards in as many years. Jim holds a Masters Degree in Music from York University.

“Is This the Hill You Wish You’d Died On?” is a ghost story for people who don’t believe in ghosts. It’s the story of Taylorbeth, a young Newfoundland woman in her early 20s, who visits the grave of her great-great-grandmother Theresa in an old St. John’s graveyard. Taylorbeth, who is working through her grief over the death of a friend, has always admired the story of Theresa, who was shunned by her Irish Catholic family for marrying a Protestant in 1870s St. John’s. She looks to Theresa as an example of resilience and courage. But when Theresa actually appears, Taylorbeth (who doesn’t believe in ghosts) has to confront the many ways in which her values and Theresa’s don’t align. Theresa is soon joined by three other ghosts: her daughter Lizzie, matriarch of a large clan, and two of Lizzie’s daughters – the brilliant and cynical university professor Jean, and the devout and idealistic Isabel who died young from tuberculosis. The stories these women tell Taylorbeth about their lives echo and sometimes clash with the family stories she's heard about them. She admires them, yet she’s troubled by how central their religious faith is to all their lives. Taylorbeth is angry not just at her family’s religious past but at all religion – and we learn as the play unfolds that she has good reason to be. Her best friend Danielle died by suicide a year ago, and Taylorbeth blames the suicide on Danielle’s deeply religious family, who refused to accept their queer daughter. Taylorbeth struggles to square her admiration for her ancestors with their loyalty to a belief system she sees as toxic and deadly. When the ancestral ghosts are joined by Taylorbeth’s dead friend Danielle and her very-much-alive mother Gail (who also doesn’t believe in ghosts), all these tensions come to the surface in a final confrontation. What, if anything, can the living learn from the dead – and vice versa? Pick up your free Year of the Arts Women’s Play Festival passport and get a stamp for every night you attend!
