Go big or not at all. That’s the philosophy Kings of Leon is following after the massive success of their seventh studio album WALLS.
The Grammy Award-winning group added a third leg to the WALLS Tour that kicks off Sept. 27 in Charlotte, North Carolina and swings north with a stop at Rogers Place on Friday, Oct. 13.
Tickets for the tour will be available to the general public beginning Friday, April 28 at 10 a.m. local time at livenation.com.
Renowned for its consistently high-quality, eclectic productions, Shadow Theatre introduces French playwright Yasmina Reza’s ART.
The comedy, which raises questions about art and friendship, concerns three life-long friends, Serge, Marc and Yvan.
Serge, who indulges his passion for art, buys a large, exorbitantly priced painting from one of the hottest painters around. Unlike, his other works, it is painted entirely in shades of white.
Marc, who fancies himself Serge’s cultural mentor, is horrified. The upshot is their relationship undergoes a few bumps resulting from their disagreements.
Meanwhile, Yvan is caught in the middle and tries to please both friends. The evening turns into a disaster, but it reveals a few truths about men, art and the bonds they form.
Directed by John Hudson, ART features three in-demand actors – Glenn Nelson, Frank Zotter and John Sproule.
ART runs April 27 to May 14 at Varscona Theatre, 10329 – 83 Ave. Tickets range from $18 to $33. Call 780-420-1757 or at tixonthesquare.ca.
