After a sold-out run in August 2015, this iconic Cape Breton performance will return in 2016! The Cape Breton Summertime Revue blends music and comedy to create a show that’s at once topical, heart warming and hilarious.

Director Maynard Morrison will once again guide the able cast in their quest to liven up your summer, consisting of returning members: Stephanie Hennessey, Peter MacInnis, Jordan Musycyn, and Margaret MacPherson, with newly recruited cast member Jenn Sheppard. Also new to the mix, the Summertime Revue is happy to announce the inclusion of Rachel Davis and Darren McMullen, from the band Còig – one of Atlantic Canada’s premiere traditional groups.

The Cape Breton Summertime Revue helped to launch and sustain the careers of Bette MacDonald, Maynard Morrison, Rita MacNeil and Allistair MacGillivray, to name a few. The “Revue” could not be contained on the island alone and also toured throughout Canada to large and receptive audiences. The show was a part of the fabric of Cape Breton, demonstrating and celebrating our ability to laugh at ourselves and with each other.

The “Next Generation” is proud to carry this tradition forward. The songs and stories continue to reflect the essence of Cape Breton culture. The music, both traditional and original, speaks to our love of home and the comedy is as side-splitting as ever.
