Message from the Mayor Immerse yourself in a kaleidoscope of art and culture at the Arden Theatre. Colourful sounds, vibrant sights, and diverse artists of all forms blend to ignite a rich season of entertainment on the Arden stage in its 2014-2015 season. Every performance, every artist, every lyric to a song, leaves each one of our patrons with a singularly unique and memorable experience, which is a truly special offering that we take pride in. In early 2014, St. Albert was named the #1 place to live in Canada according to MoneySense magazine. One of many contributing factors to this honour is our city’s emphasis on cultural expression through the arts. For 31 years, the Arden Theatre has been at the very root of cultivating opportunities for individuals of all ages and demographics to escape into a valued world of artistic experiences. Ever-evolving musicians, dancers, and actors from around the world share their art in our theatre, engaging our audiences in unforgettable moments. Our stage. Your experience. Thank you for giving us many occasions this season to invite you to be engaged and entertained.
Nolan Crouse Mayor, City of St. Albert, The Botanical Arts City
Message from the presenter There is nothing quite like the anticipation of waiting for a show to begin: the lights dim, a hush falls over the crowd and everyone eagerly waits for the first note of a song or the performer to appear. The energy is electric, and then the show begins... Some of the most memorable moments of my life have taken place in performing arts venues. I delight in the cultural events that engage all of my senses and transport me to another place. I distinctly remember the performances that have had me so mesmerized I’ve forgotten to breathe, the hair on my arms stood up on end and my fingers and toes began to tingle. These are experiences that cannot be duplicated and the moments I keep in the back of my mind when programming each Arden season. As I start to assemble each season, I think about the experiences I want you, our patrons, to have in the theatre, how each performer will engage with you, and how, for even just the briefest moments, you can escape the day-to-day hustle and bustle of life. I hope that this season you embrace all of the exciting performances we have lined up for you and allow yourself to be moved by the incredible world of art and culture at the Arden.

jeremy fisher With Opening Guest Joe Nolan Friday, October 17 \ 7:30 pm Double Juno nominee and Arden favourite Jeremy Fisher returns to his devoted fan base in St. Albert to perform a collection of new songs from The Lemon Squeeze. But don’t let the title fool you, there isn’t a single sour note on his sixth studio release. The songwriting troubadour uproots his folk-rock sound in favour of a bold, new world of piano-based pop melodies with a new, alternately sweet and tart sound.
“I grew up with albums and I feel driven to make albums as an artist. The way we listen to music is changing though and as much as I tried to create a cohesive body of work, The Lemon Squeeze plays like an album of singles. It was liberating to make every song on the record unique.” – Jeremy Fisher
Though the palette of sound is different, his playful use of language continues to highlight his incredible gift of storytelling, consummate wit, and sense of humour. Jeremy Fisher is as thoughtful and interesting as ever, wearing all of his influences on his sleeve, and leaving his audiences wanting more.

Little time or appetite to make the change
School site swap not very likely BY peter Boer Staff Writer A suggestion that could see St. Albert’s newest elementary school built in Kingswood instead of Erin Ridge North appears to be a non-starter. At Monday’s city council meeting Coun. Cam MacKay asked administration to explore an idea first put forward by council candidate Sheena Hughes – move the elementary school Cam announced by the maCkay province last month Councilor from Erin Ridge North to Kingswood, then move the francophone high school pegged for construction at Eldorado Drive to Erin Ridge North. Such a move, said Hughes, would address concerns of Erin Ridge sheena residents about the hughes size of the high school Candidate compared to the area of the school site, and worries about heavy vehicle traffic and parking at the Eldorado site. “I just tried to think of some kind of solution,” said Hughes. “It just occurred to me this is an alternative.” The city doesn’t have title to the site Hughes is suggesting it explore. The land in Kingswood has long been at the centre of an ongoing dispute between developer Canterra and the city. Canterra is supposed to hand the land over to the city but will only do so if the city guarantees a high school won’t be built on the site. President Murray Brown has been previously quoted as saying high school students don’t make good neighbours. The city has said it will not issue any development permits to Canterra until it hands over the land. This kind of swap could finally bring some peace to the ongoing dispute, Hughes said. See “School site,” page 4

City reviewing flood plain maps BY peter Boer Staff Writer
The city will have another look at its flood plain data for the sake of caution but is confident little will need to change in the wake of the province’s policy change on housing development within flood areas. The province announced Sunday anyone who builds or rebuilds within identified 1:100 year flood plains in Alberta will not qualify for disaster relief in the event of a flood. The changes come on the heels of massive flooding last month in southern Alberta that has left many homes uninhabitable. Stephen Khan, St. Albert’s
MLA, confirmed Thursday that policy change is province wide, not just for those areas that recently flooded. “The premier is very clear that the policy is not just for the area in southern Alberta. It’s a policy for all of Alberta moving into the future,” Khan said. But city officials maintain the policy change should have very little impact on St. Albert. As the rules currently stand, building anything in St. Albert’s flood plain is forbidden. “It’s pretty clear in the land use bylaw that it is prohibited,” said Carol Bergum, the city’s senior long-range planner. It does allow for some structures such as util-
ity infrastructure or temporary outdoor shelters, but that’s about all, she added. Bergum said the city is looking at its flood plain mapping
and also reviewing maps in the province’s possession to make sure both are as up to date as possible. See “Flood plan,” page 4
ApRIL BARtLEtt/St. Albert Gazette
WATER WORRIES – The RiverHouse Restaurant and several other buildings in that area are described as below the flood line. The city says no other flood risk areas exist in St. Albert.

lunch at allen’s Friday, October 24 \ 7:30 pm It all began as a regular get together at Allen’s Pub & restaurant on The Danforth in Toronto with Canadian music icon Murray McLauchlan and old friends Ian Thomas and Marc Jordan. After adding the voice of Cindy Church, a “lunch at Allen’s” turned into an outstanding band performing some of Canada’s (and the world’s) most enjoyed songs from each of these songwriters’ impressive catalogues. Marc Jordan and Ian Thomas’ songs have been recorded by everyone from Rod Stewart to Bette Midler, and Diana Ross to Santana. Murray McLauchlan’s hits have covered Canadian airwaves from coast to coast. Cindy’s (the sweetest) voice and songs are well known on the folk festival circuit through her solo work and as a member of Quartette with Sylvia Tyson. Together, it seems as though they’ve been playing for years with an energy and freshness like they’ve just met.

A Juno nominee, Polaris Prize listed and East Coast Music Award winner, Grant is embarking on a new adventure with her third EP Clairvoyant.

“No one can sing quite like the sublime Grant, the Halifax songbird who coos “ooh hoo” as gorgeously as a dove in heaven.”
– The Globe and Mail
Jenn Grant has an eclectic stage presence and warm, engaging demeanour. She will welcome you like you’re gathering in a living room, but her iridescent voice and boundless performance will leave you speechless, drawn into a world of love, loss, sadness and flights of happiness.

Young Drunk Punk Written & Performed by Bruce McCulloch Sunday, November 2 \ 7:30 pm Comedian, writer, and director Bruce McCulloch returns with his standout hit Young Drunk Punk, delivering his signature brand of dark humour and anecdotal insights. Combining stand-up comedy and music in his one-man show, the Edmonton native chronicles his journey from being a cynical member of ‘Kids in the Hall’ to becoming a ‘pajama-clad dad’ living in the Hollywood Hills.
“McCulloch was solid. He alternated between telling stories and tossing about absurdisms… he pulled no punches …he proved that he still “has it.” ….There were even a few personal, serious moments that almost caught you off guard…McCulloch was in probably the finest form of his career.”
– SpinningPlatters.com
Set in Calgary in the 1980s, Young Drunk Punk is a semi-autobiographical take on a coming-of-age journey, told through the unique point-of-view of McCulloch. It focuses on two young men – Ian and Shinky – who have recently graduated from high school, and don’t quite feel that they belong. The series follows them as they embark on a hilarious and rebellious search to find out who they are, somewhere in the lost years between high school, and “what’s next.” Young Drunk Punk will soon hit the television airwaves as a new, single-camera, half-hour comedy series on City. Please note: This performance is intended for mature audiences and contains coarse language.

jill barber Friday, November 7 \ 7:30 pm At first listen, what sets Jill Barber apart is her distinctive voice. But it’s her ability to write an immediately memorable song that has made her one of Canada’s most recognizable artists. Jill Barber has become renowned for writing songs that evoke feelings of a past era, leaving one helpless amidst lyrical themes of romance and dreams. Trusting her musical instincts in her sixth album, Fool’s Gold, Jill Barber stumbles upon fortune with soul-flavoured music that has the magical quality of moonlight.
“I won’t try to kid you about how hard it is to be a new mother, and work at the same time. Time becomes the new economy. For that reason, much of the making of this record came down to instinct. If it felt right, we just went with it. No second-guessing. It’s a good way to make music.”
– Jill Barber
The songs on Fool’s Gold are delivered by that evocative voice of an artist who has drawn inspiration from a cross section of musical genres. Regardless of her influences, the one thing you are always assured of is that you know a Jill Barber song when you hear it, and chances are, you’ll never forget it.

TaKe a SeaT! Spotlight on J2
With the Arden Theatre’s recent renovations we launched the Take a Seat campaign, encouraging patrons to sponsor a seat, but with a twist. We also wanted to know why they chose specific seats. Everyone has their favourite seat, and we’re learning that every seat has a story.
The best seats in the house . . . can be yours!
When Henry and Helen Resta sponsored their regular seats, we were curious to find out what made J2 so special. Henry explained very simply. “Helen and I have been attending performances at the Arden for a number of years and have always been pleased with the quality of the artists and of the theatre itself. Since we are both having birthdays within weeks of each other, one of which was “significant,” we decided instead of buying each other gifts we would instead use that money and give a gift to the Arden. Choosing to purchase a seat would not only benefit a theatre we both enjoy, but in a sense it is also a gift to ourselves as well, as we could enjoy it for years to come.” What are YOU waiting for?
Put your name on your favourite seat or give a unique gift to mark a special occasion, promote your business or make a memorial tribute – the possibilities are endless.
Centre Stage: $1000 | Spotlight: $500 | Footlights: $250 Your benefit – eligible seat donations will be recognized with: An engraved armrest plaque A tax receipt
For more information or to select your seat, contact Sandra Moloney at (780) 459-1694 or smoloney@stalbert.ca. Seating map available at ardentheatre.com.
