Alex Zerbe’s Zaniac Comedy Show on March 4 is fun for the whole family.

The holidays are a special time of giving, but more importantly, for getting together with friends and loved ones, to re-connect and share our lives.

“Gathering and hearing stories is really what this time of year is about,” says Angela Pells, Marketing Director at the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre.

What better way to celebrate the holiday season than by giving the gift of time spent together?

The perfect way to do just that is with Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre’s Holiday Gift Guide, filled with a range of exciting live events, sure to please everyone on your list.

“It’s an opportunity to give a gift of an unforgettable experience, rather than a thing,” Pells says. “It’s the perfect antidote to the pressure of Christmas shopping!”

The Guide includes events in the centre’s SPOTLIGHT Presentation Season, including dance, theatre, kids’ features and special presentations – sure to entertain, move and delight audiences.

Ballet Edmonton’s triple bill of Persistence of Memory, SWAN and Valei-me is April 28.
