An indie theatre production

Back by popular demand, Sick + Twisted Theatre, Winnipeg’s own
disability theatre company, is thrilled to announce their 3rd annual
production of ‘A Merry Crip-mas Panto!’ — a bold, joyful celebration
of inclusion, laughter, and the spirit of the season, bigger and
better than ever before!

There's trouble in the Lowlands! Jax and their mother are hungry, the
crops don't have enough water to grow, and the cow has stopped giving
milk.
Could this have something to do with the new President Emperor Elect
in Skyworld, who wants to annex the Lowlands for their fresh water and
natural resources? Can Jax get to the bottom of it before the Emperor
is sworn in in his magical new suit?! Come see the inauguration where
the naked truth of tyranny is revealed!

Playwrights: Fiona Smith & Andrea von Wichert
Directed by: Debbie Patterson
Assistant Director: Phillip Duncan
Music Director & Sound Designer: Joseph Aragon
Choreographer: Theresa Thomson

Hiss Golden Messenger w/ Christine Fellows

Part of Winterruption Festival. Co-presented by Real Love

Hiss Golden Messenger of Durham, North Carolina, a vehicle for singer-songwriter M.C. Taylor, calls up a wide spectrum of American vernacular music — from Archie Brownlee to the Staple Singers, and from singer-songwriters Van Morrison to Townes Van Zandt. After relocating from California to North Carolina, Taylor began to record material under the name Hiss Golden Messenger. Though his initial recordings featured only his voice and guitar recorded to a cheap cassette recorder, recent Hiss albums have incorporated horns, strings and choirs. “(Taylor's) songs are smart and complex enough to betray a bigger and more insane question: What makes a person happy?"

Michael Kaeshammer Album Release
Mar

8:00 PM20:00

Michael Kaeshammer Album Release

Jazz-based pop, R&B

For fans of the crooners, Adam Baldwin, Michael Buble, Rufus Wainwright

Something magical happens when Michael Kaeshammer sits at the piano. Sure, like all pianists, he plays 12 notes across 88 keys. But the musician and songwriter coaxes dazzling, kaleidoscopic sounds from his instrument in a way few can rival. 

So, it’s no surprise that Turn It Up — Kaeshammer’s towering 15th album — is superb, a dynamic, rollicking collection though one stubbornly resistant to a single, catchall genre. “Eclectic yet accessible jazz-based pop” might come closest to the mark, but it doesn’t quite capture it all. Like his sprawling record collection, which houses everything from AC/DC to Erik Satie, Kaeshammer’s songs reflect his boundless appreciation of music in whatever form it takes. 

Across a brilliant, globe-trotting career highlighted by nine tours of China, three appearances at the Olympics, and countless shows opposite international superstars, the German-born, B.C.-based Kaeshammer has electrified audiences with his indelible repertoire and consistently positive outlook on life which infuses his lyrics. “I am a very positive person,” confirms the seven-time JUNO Award nominee and unabashed foodie, who hosts cooking show Kaeshammer’s Kitchen on Vancouver Island’s CHEK TV. “I really love playing shows and being on-stage. If Turn It Up helps me to do more of that, then I’m all in. Music is my favourite thing to do.”

Daniel Champagne

The Australian virtuoso recently described as 'the finest guitar player of this generation,' has been selling out concerts around the globe — and in the spring of 2026, he’ll bring his now-famed live show to intimate venues across Western Canada!

“Do whatever it takes to get in the front row!” – Rhythms Magazine, Australia

“A generational talent that must be seen to be believed.” – Roots Magazine, UK

Don’t miss your chance to see live music at its finest!

Daniel Champagne lives and breathes music. Playing upwards of 250 concerts around the world each year, he is as loved globally as he is in his homeland of Australia. His signature guitar style and formidable stage show have garnered accolades and dedicated fans worldwide.

Growing up in the Bega Valley on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, the story goes that the young artist first picked up his instrument of choice at age five, following in the footsteps of his musical father. He began writing songs at twelve, trained classically throughout his teens, and performed wherever he could — honing his craft and developing the electric live show that he is renowned for today. At eighteen, he finished school, turned professional, and hit the road without looking back.

The following eighteen years have seen him release seven studio albums, sell out concerts across the globe, play some of the biggest festivals under the sun, and share stages with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, INXS, John Butler, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins, and Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Expect jaw-dropping guitar skills, songs that carry the heart away, and the stories of a troubadour that will stay with you long after the last note rings out — a Daniel Champagne show is not just a concert, it’s an experience.

WHAT THE PRESS SAY

“The word ‘prodigy’ seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills. He coaxes sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws.” – The Calgary Herald, Canada

“Today I saw the future of folk — festival-goers flocking in the thousands towards the main stage to witness a young musical phenomenon from Australia dish out an absolute show-stopper.” –

The Firefly Column, USA

“A generational talent.” – Roots Magazine, UK

“Daniel Champagne is a crossroads, fusing the strong traditions of blues, folk, and other roots art with pop showmanship and admirable lyrical ability. I firmly believe that he will become an ambassador for roots music in a time where it desperately needs representation.” – The Indie

Blender, Canada

“Reinventing roots guitar.” – Rhythms Magazine, Australia

“Watching Daniel Champagne perform is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He is a true prodigy who plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifetimes studying the art.” – BW Review, New Zealand

“Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably carry the heart with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is simply magical.” – The Music, Australia

“You feel as if he just invented the instrument yesterday and was discovering its possibilities afresh.” – Ted Gioia, American jazz critic and music

What is a relaxed performance? 

Relaxed performances are designed for families, young children, and anyone who would benefit from a chill atmosphere where the volume is a little lower, the lights are on dim, and where the din of kids, stimming, and people coming in and out of the room is A-ok. 

  • Sensory adjustments: Sound is a bit lower, house lights are kept on dim. 

  • Setup adjustments: We’ll have a kids’ area in one corner of the theatre. 

  • Casual audience environment: A relaxed attitude toward noise and movement, allowing for things like stimming, vocalizations, fidgeting, and kids playing. The audience for this kind of show is louder than usual, allowing for kids and folks with special needs to enjoy the show, along with their adults and caregivers. 

  • Flexible entry and exit: Audience members are welcome to enter and exit the theatre as needed.

  • Quieter space: The lobby will be a quieter space, great if people need a break.

Ay Corazon, Digital Detox 1

Original art by Daniela Fernandez

Original art by Daniela Fernandez

Storytelling, music, art installation, hands on. Heartbreak and longing through music, art and handicrafts.

This Digital Detox show is the first in a series. Let’s leave our devices behind and be deeply present together.

From Daniela Fernandez, the artist: “Ay, Corazon” translates as “ay, my heart!” It is an expression of pain for unrequited love. However, it is also a magical realist vision of romance and what hides within it. It is a collection of textile pieces and sculptures handcrafted by an artist grappling with what love has meant to me. The pieces commemorate the ephemeral beauty of the dreams we build when we fall for someone; they also touch on the toxic way romantic love is often understood. This show is very much rooted in Latin America with its art, aesthetics and homage to the tradition of the overwrought melodramatic love story.

As a trilingual person, my experience of love has been filtered through media in English, Spanish and French. This meant that the playlist that inspired the work also spans different languages. I’ve also spent a lot of time chasing love in venues like late night cafes, bars, and arts venues like the WECC. The concept behind the show is to take singers who speak each of the languages and have them pick two songs from my list to interpret, but then let them tell their own musical stories about love to share with the audience. Arielle Beaupré, Gabriela Ocejo and Flora Luna were chosen for their ability to truly capture rare depths of emotion in a way that breaks past the superficial. It was an important way for me to bring together my linguistic communities meaningfully.

Presented in the low lights of the WECC, the glitter of the pieces contributes to an atmosphere where you will be immersed in a world of bright colours and vivid emotions, but also be safe in the warm community of the venue and the people around you. Make a craft, listen to a song, drink a hot chocolate, and know that where you are there is so much love.

Coming Home, w/ Logan, Richard, Colton, and Martin

Logan McKillop

Richard Inman

Colton McKillop

Martin Finnie

Folk, singer-songwriter. For fans of Tom Petty, Gordon Lightfoot, John Prine

The West End Cultural Centre is proud to present Coming Home - an intimate night of songs and stories from four prairie songwriters whose roots run deep in Manitoba.

Coming home matters to this crew, especially when they’ve been away for a while. Logan has been living, studying, and working in The Yukon, and Richard has been living that songwriter life on the fields of Alberta. We haven’t heard from them for years now, and they’re finally coming home to Manitoba, where their roots run the deepest.

Logan McKillop and Richard Inman share the stage, alongside prairie pals Colton McKillop and Martin Finnie. It will be a special evening that celebrates the spirit of homecoming - returning to the places and people that shape us. With honest storytelling and a blend of folk, country, and roots traditions, these artists bring a heartfelt soundtrack to prairie life.

Join us for a night that feels like gathering around a kitchen table with old friends. Coming Home at the WECC honours the bonds of friendship, family, and the Manitoba roots that continue to inspire these artists.
