What’s On (Edmonton): Dance For Grandma – Varscona Theatre

Dance for Grandma PosterSeptember 20th to 28th The Varscona Theatre is proud to present Cathy Derkach and Jeff Haslam in a hilarious all new musical revue entitled Dance For Grandma: A Tribute to Our Grandmothers, and Your Grandmothers… AND YOU! It’s a show about those amazing women who shape and define us, Grandmas soft and affectionate, brittle and demanding, flamboyant and restrained. Grandmothers who make doilies and quilts and cook anything and everything for great tableloads of guests; grandmothers who don’t make pies but have traveled seven seas and six continents and can tell the tales.

Join Ms. Derkach and Mr. Haslam as they dance, sing and chat all about Grandma. Theirs and yours… with contributions from some of Edmonton’s finest playwrights (Stewart Lemoine, Marty Chan, Jocelyn Ahlf, Jana O’Connor and more) and some of our Grandmother’s favourite songs (Paper Moon, Que Sera Sera, Somewhere Out There, Lerner and Lowe, Cole Porter, Mancini & Mercer, Rodgers & Hart and more).
