Udderfest offers up a wide range of entertainment



The North Coasts mid summer theatre festival known as Udderfest is underway, the 14th annual edition of the popular event is holding court at two venues in the city.

Opening night was Thursday with Stab in the Dark and I'd Like to Buy A Vowel taking to the Tom Rooney stage, that venue will also play host to the topical Zenbridge, as well as War of Wits, High Society and Rupert Tonight.

The Lester Centre of the Arts is providing the stage for Juvenile Eyes, Toast and Jam and Playground Revenge and presentations of Rupert Tonight.

The events are for the most part local Harbour Theatre presentations, offering up a stage for the city's large theatre population, however, the lure of Udderfest also brings in the out of town acts, Lyle McNish returns with Kitimat's On Cue Players, while the Vancouver based band High Society  is making the trip north for the festival.

The Festival wraps up on August 12th.

The Tom Rooney Playhouse is located at 954 3rd Avenue West, the Lester Centre of the Arts can be found on Highway 16/McBride Street at Wantage Road, beside the Civic Centre.
