Help The Doorway celebrate 35 Years of Making Change Possible here in Calgary! Enjoy a night of music, poetry, food and drink, a 50/50 raffle, auction, and much more! Come down to the Extravaganza at Festival Hall for a fabulous evening in support of The Doorway and the work we do with young people experiencing homelessness.
At the Extravaganza you will enjoy unique and diverse performances from local musicians and poets, bid on amazing silent auction items donated by local community businesses and individuals, and take part in a 50/50 draw!
The Extravaganza will be hosted by Amy Edgar - a local stand up comedian and the daughter of professional clowns. Growing up, people often asked if she wanted to be a clown like her parents. She would quickly correct them saying “no! I want to be a clown like me!” With a playful persona and infectious energy, Amy’s able to connect with audiences of all kinds and leave them wanting more. In 2023, she hosted Sled Island Festival’s comedy programming for a second time and was featured on an episode of CBC Debaters.
Sandra Sutter and Rob Ing are Indigenous poets and musicians. Sandra was raised in a loving non-Indigenous family and discovered and embraced her ancestral and cultural roots later in life. Her partner, Rob Ing, is a talented musician and highly skilled sound technician who performs with Sandra as they share their message through music and song.
We are pleased to welcome Sheri-D Wilson back to The Doorway Extravaganza to share her engaging and personal message through her own unique style. Sheri-D Wilson is an award-winning and acclaimed Canadian poet, musician, producer and writer. Known for her captivating reading style, her work has received many awards and honours, including the Order of Canada, Poet Laureate Emeritus of Calgary, and the Women of Vision Award, just to name a few.
