April-August
Harbourfest - Summer Evenings at Shelter Cove Harbour
From long-time troubadour Shannon Tanner to the island tradition of HarbourFest, Shelter Cove is the center of evening activities. Fireworks are the main event for HarbourFest every Tuesday evening beginning in June. As always, all events at Shelter Cove Harbour are free and open to the public.
April 23-May 25
The Producers
Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers sets the standard for modern, outrageous humor. The Arts Center will present the regional premiere of this truly “boffo” hit, which won twelve Tony Awards – the most in Broadway history! The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all “little old ladies”) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show, hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds, is a lesson in laughter.

June 17-July 27
The Buddy Holly Story
Celebrate the life, the legend, the music of one of the great rockers of all time. Buddy Holly skyrocketed to stardom in the late ‘50s with hits like “That’ll Be the Day,” “Peggy Sue” and “Oh Boy.” But the phenomenal career of this charismatic singer/songwriter, known for his horned-rimmed glasses and vocal hiccup, ended on Feb. 3, 1959, when the plane he and fellow rockers Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper were flying in crashed. Touted as the world’s most successful rock musical, you don’t know what you’ve been a-missing til you see this rocking jukebox show. Oh boy!
