Celebrate with famed Canadian clown duo Mump & Smoot in Something-the hit show that put them on the map! Last delighting Vancouver audiences in 1994, Mump & Smoot return with a rare revival of the show that started it all. In Something, we find the intrepid duo prancing through the etiquette of a fine cafe, the sorrow & despair of a wake, & the pandemonium of the doctor's office.

Mump & Smoot, also referred to as clowns of horror, inhabit a parallel universe called Ummo, worship a god named Ummo, and speak their own brand of gibberish, Ummonian. Not for children!

On Saturday, June 8th at 7:30 PM, the historic St. Andrew's-Wesley church will ring with the joyful sounds of Vancouver's 90-voice City Soul Choir, directed by Brian Tate. SOULUNPLUGGED is an evening of a cappella music. This concert is unique for the City Soul Choir, who usually performs with a rocking gospel/soul band. Brian says: "For centuries, the ecstatic sound of unaccompanied voices singing together in sacred spaces has proved to be unequalled in power and beauty. The choir will perform African, Gregorian, and Native American chants, spirituals, gospel, folk and classical selections - music to touch, heal, excite, and inspire.
