VOICE OF THE VALLEY
Voice of the Valley a Vaudeville Barn Dance Experience
July 21 to August 2
This summer we are doing something a little different. Something so lively, so fun, so sassy and joyous that you will want to come more than once: It’s VOICE OF THE VALLEY… a Vaudeville Barn Dance experience!
Staged in the Timber Barn, the evening will unfold with a cast of incredible musicians, comedians, and storytellers amidst the rolling green fields and summer sunsets of Caravan Farm Theatre’s 80 acres. Come early and stroll the meadows, bring a picnic, enjoy a craft ale. Then laugh, sing, and DANCE.
This is an event for anyone who loves this beautiful valley and wants to step out and mix and mingle with neighbours near and far.
What is a VAUDEVILLE BARN DANCE?
The VAUDEVILLE comes from the French: “Voice of the City” and will take the form of a one-hour variety show with sketch comedy, improv, stand up, stories and songs about life here in the Okanagan.
The BARN DANCE will be a traditional square dance with a live band, and the person calling out the do-si-do will be none other than one of Toronto’s most decorated slam poets, Luke Reece!
Our SATURDAY NIGHT performances of July 25 and August 1, will kick it up a notch and feature folk/country stars TRIXIE and DUSTIN BENTALL!
Gates open at 6:30pm, The performance begins at 7:30pm
Running time: approx. 120 minutes, including one intermission
