Event Description

The Only Planet Cabaret is an exhilarating evening of theatre that addresses pressing environmental issues with wit, verve and style. It's coming to Victoria Sunday October 5. The performance will raise funds for First Nations legal challenges against Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline and tankers. Five Salt Spring Island writers, performers, musicians and activists bring together passionate singing and songwriting, intimate story-telling, powerful performance poetry and exuberant musical theater, in a style all their own. The Cabaret has rewritten and repurposed show tunes, folk songs and rock 'n' roll to craft a show that gives voice to our unspoken fears and doubts, hopes and inner strengths in the face of an environment in crisis. Jeremy Loveday, two-time defending Victoria Poetry Slam Champion, is the opening act.
