The Capitol Centre

The property upon which the Capitol was built was purchased in 1927 by Louis Rosenbaum, a Sturgeon Falls businessman. He began building the structure and, when he ran out of funds, he sold it to Famous Players Canadian Corporation. They opened the Capitol Theatre on June 1st, 1929. The Capitol had 1455 seats and was referred to as “a palace of splendor” with it’s elaborate Spanish lights and décor. The movie that was shown to the sold out grand opening crowd was, In Old Arizona. It was the first all-talking Fox feature movie, a western starring Edmund Lowe, Warren Baxter and Dorothy Burgess.

    The Afrique En Cirque show symbolizes the strength, agility and joy of life found in African youth. A handful of daring acrobats, accompanied by their musicians, perform to the pulsating rhythm of the djembes of Guinea with their authentic and original  choreography and acrobatics. With the melodious sound of the Kora, Yamoussa Bangoura transports us to a place where the diversity of traditional African arts are illuminated, and combined with the virtuosity of a modern North American Circus performance.

    Kalabanté Productions was created by Yamoussa Bangoura, a multidisciplinary artist of Guinean origin.  Yamoussa’s long term dream was the founding of a school of circus arts, and direct his own multidisciplinary company specializing in the African arts.  As the company director he develops his own shows which over the past several years have been increasingly gathering attention and recognition in the Quebec circus arts community and worldwide.  Kô Ryass, and other shows such as Kumbaya, Uno, Kira Nene and Afrique en Cirque have been created and performed worldwide.

    All Things Music Presents "A Tragically HiP Show!"
    feat. Man Machine Poem

    THE HiP MACHINE brings the music of Canada's favorite band the way it should be heard - LIVE!

    Darryl Aspin of Hitcher fame, made his mark captivating audiences in the Durham Region with his strong vocal ability and high energy performance. The strongest lead singer of any HiP tribute, and one of the best in Southern Ontario. Behind Darryl is a band of talented musicians including dedicated guitarist Mike Rewegen, life-long drummer Seth McNamara and Firehall Captain Stephen Reid. Last but not least on lead guitar, we have Mike Marinuk - after 6 years as a founding member of another Ontario HiP tribute, and in search of a band worthy of the task he now showcases his abilities as our 'Robbie'. Performing leads identical to the albums and even from live HiP releases, the guitar driven sound and style of the Tragically Hip is a key element of The HiP Machine! The first to bring video to the HiP tribute stage, Mike along with THM continue to strive for more at every show. Giving audiences something they cannot get anywhere else.

    Believe the hype or come see for yourself. Tragically HiP fans agree. Relive those memories of seeing the band live and join the show, a Tragically Hip Show!
