Prairie Dog Film + Television announced their much anticipated third season of Blackstone, on Wednesday, Sept. 25.
The six-part series is a raw, unflinching look at an indigenous community through the lens of the fictional Blackstone First Nation.
In season three, each of the central characters is touched by conflict and struggle. Some of the universal themes director Ron E. Scott tackles are domestic violence, criminal justice, child and family welfare and the devastating consequences of addiction.
“Production went very well and the level of talent on this series is exceptional,” says Scott, producer for the one-hour shows. “It may be our most explosive season yet and we look forward to having our viewers experience it.”
Returning to the fold are notable actors Carmen Moore, Eric Schweig, Michelle Thrush, Nathanial Arcand and Tantoo Cardinal to name a few.
Blackstone is aired on Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN). Check local listings for times.
Pro Coro Canada launches its new season at the Winspear Centre with A Time for Everything on Sunday, Sept. 29.
The chamber choir, composed of the Edmonton area’s finest voices include alto Mireille Rijavec, tenor Caleb Nelson, bass Jordan Van Biert and St. Albert soprano Carol Kube.
Artistic director Michael Zaugg incorporates the powerful, pulsating rhythms of the Booming Tree Taiko Drum Group, a move he hopes will inspire listeners to enjoy the hybrid of Japanese drumming with contemporary classical repertoire.
The concert starts at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are free, however all seats are reserved and must be booked in advance. Call 780-428-1414.
