About the event

Beyond VIMY
Premiere Multi-Media Stage Performance Melds Memory and Meaning

Saturday, October 25, 2025
Two shows only: 2 pm and 7:30 pm
Mary Winspear Center, 2243 Beacon Ave, Sidney, BC
Info/Details: www.CreativelyUnited.org

On Saturday, October 25th the premiere performance of the multi-media theatrical production Beyond VIMY will direct attention to this profound chapter of Canada’s heritage that pledged to remember and honour the lives lost in this struggle, rise above conflict, embrace forgiveness and raise our awareness and compassion for all sentient beings on this one planet we call Home. Emphasis will be on the importance of celebrating the past and future of Canadian sovereignty, unity and peace.

This 110-minute show (with 20 minute intermission and b&w photography exhibit) will be anchored by the nationally recognized, Juno nominated, Canadian acoustic folk-roots band, The Fugitives. In the first act, they will perform their moving stage production of Ridge, a powerful remembrance of the history and personalities associated with Vimy Ridge based on the songs and letters written by WWI soldiers who were there. Songwriters Adrian Glynn and Brendan McLeod are joined by banjo player Chris Suen (Viper Central) and violinist Carly Frey (The Coal Porters).

Act two will feature members of the Victoria Philharmonic Choir under the direction of Peter Butterfield, Pipe Major Roger McGuire, cellist Amy Laing, acclaimed professional dancers Andrea Bayne and Peter Star, black & white fine-art photography by Blair Ketcheson of the Vimy Memorial in France, plus a short set of original tunes by The Fugitives.

Tickets: $40-$45. Special pricing until mid-September.
