Lester Centre hosting shows, rehearsals and a town forum on the arts in February

It's the focal point for the Arts in Prince Rupert and this month in addition to a couple of shows that should have the place hopping, there's much of note from the Lester Centre of the Arts at McBride and Wantage.

This month the curtain comes up for a pair of musical acts to get a groove on 

The iconic Blues master Colin James Trio rolls the gear into the Lester Centre on February 15th



A couple of weeks later the month wraps with a sample of some Roots, jazz and much more with Roots and Grooves on the 26th

February 23-25 will see a showcase of youth drama on the Lester Stage as Drama Fest comes to Prince Rupert for this years opportunity to see what the creative talents on the High School Scene have to share.


The cast is set and the rehearsals underway for the 2023 Community musical Mamma Mia, with the talented pool of Rupert's acting and musical community coming together towards the return of the musical to the Lester Centre after the COVID interruption.

37 performers have signed on for the production which is led by Director Extrodinarie Alison O'Toole, along with the collective of musicians and those working on the show as part of the crew.

The Theatre hosting them all through the weeks and months leading up to Showtimes of April 20-22

The topic of Arts and Culture Development in Prince Rupert will be the subject of a Tourism Talks town Hall of Sorts this month. 

The event hosted by Tourism Prince Rupert is scheduled for Friday, February 10th from 5 to 6:30 PM, offering a chance for the Arts community and residents of the City to help shape the future and how to support Arts on the North Coast.
