They have been here before, but just like no two Nitty Gritty Dirt Band albums are ever alike, no two Nitty Gritty Dirt Band concerts are ever alike.

If you're a metal queen, a rocker girl, a fierce female of the stage, there's a spotlight calling for you. The Metalocalypstick Festival will return this coming summer for its fourth year featuring females.

The sun seems to be rising on the Sunset Theatre. The longtime performing arts space is prominent in downtown Wells. It has a colourful and twisty history that makes for a prime connection to the next door living history facility of Barkerville.

It might sound like a hockey game over the Prince George Symphony Orchestra concert this afternoon. It is all about crashing and banging.

Theatre Northwest and Mills Office Productivity are partnering for art. The downtown arts supply store and the professional theatre company are working together to use TNW's plays as a conversation and demonstration point for the visual arts.

Northern FanCon tickets are on sale. It's a big discount, but it's a short sale and it won't be repeated later. This is the best time to buy passes to the big event.
