When the theatre launched its first Saturday Summer Music Series (SSMS) in 2011, few people likely anticipated the extent to which its summer programming would add to the social and cultural life of Bonavista and the region. Today many area residents and visitors incorporate the Garrick's schedule into their summer plans, ensuring that they see the performances on their wish list. The theatre also has value for musicians; its commitment to presenting a broad range of musical genres in a regular weekly format provides both established and emerging artists with opportunities to perform in a soft-seat venue that can be difficult to find in summer. This year's offerings will not disappoint. You will find accomplished musicians in our two weekly programs: the long standing SSMS and the more recent Thursdays on Church. There are also two special Wednesday performances. On July 25th Tim Baker - the talented founder and frontman of the much heralded “Hey Rosetta” - will take the main stage, as will Anita Best and Sandy Morris on August 1, presenting their new album of traditional songs that they have been performing beautifully together for many years. The Garrick’s Live on the Lawn – a series of free afternoon concerts created in partnership with Parks Canada and Provincial Historic Sites – is held at the Ryan Premises National Historic Site and the Mockbeggar Plantation Provincial Historic Site. If you are in the mood for a good movie, you may want to try Side Door Cinema at the Garrick Annex on Fridays nights. This series features both local and international films that offer exceptional writing, acting and direction. This program provides dedicated pages for each series, but you may wish to begin with the “Handy List of Everything”, a chronological compilation of all events near the back of the document. As always, we are grateful to the Town of Bonavista for its annual support, and to the many loyal donors, sponsors, volunteers, staff, artists, partners and patrons whose combined contributions make the Garrick a vibrant place. We look forward to seeing you at the Garrick this summer.

In fact, they’ve built a business with that same sense of commitment and dedication in mind. They work hard to provide outstanding service to all their clients in a tailored, timely, and efficient manner by a team of professionals that genuinely enjoys working together. Their professionalism, courtesy, and excellence extends not only to their clients, but to their team and community. And much like the Garrick, their accounting firm greatly appreciates the support of its clients and partners. They also understand the value of the Garrick. Stephen notes that, “growing up in Bonavista and having spent many nights at the Garrick Theatre, we know its importance to the community and what it is to be part of something special. Seeing it evolve into the beautiful venue it is today brings a great sense of pride to us and our hometown.” Michael couldn't agree more. “We are honoured, ” he says, “to support the Garrick in continuing its work as a shining light in the community.” THE GARRICK is a multi-use cultural facility located in the heart of Bonavista, Newfoundland. Owned and operated by the Bonavista Historic Townscape Foundation, the Garrick boasts comfortable theatre seating for 200, digital cinema, state-of-the-art sound and lighting, and exceptional acoustics ... and that’s just the beginning. Cross the lobby and you’ll find the Annex - a beautifully furnished bar and intimate performance space. Head upstairs, and you’ll discover our brand new conference/event space with room for 100. FOR MORE INFORMATION, visit our events calendar at www.garricktheatre.ca, or contact us at [email protected]. Our box office is open Monday to Friday, 1:00-5:00 p.m., one hour before show time, and on Saturday afternoons during the Saturday Summer Music Series. Call (709) 468-5777. “We give back by supporting community-led initiatives like the Garrick.” Recognize an opportunity. That’s exactly what Charles R. Bell did when, in 1933, he took over a then bankrupt food brokerage business. Bell expanded the company’s portfolio, initially through the addition of new grocery brands and later by adding commercial and recreational marine products. Today, under the direction of Bell's descendants, including Chairman and son Randy Bell, the Bell Group of Companies operates throughout Atlantic Canada, focusing on four key areas: retail, wholesale, distribution and real estate. “An important part of our success is the support we receive from the people of Newfoundland and Labrador” says Randy Bell. “In return, we like to give back by supporting community-led initiatives like the Garrick Theatre. We are delighted to be a Platinum Sponsor this year and look forward to this coming season”. FOUR SERIES. ENDLESS CHOICE. From award-winning musicians and rising stars to independent film.

I would also like to express sincere gratitude to those individuals who chose to participate in the interviews as well as my research assistant, Crystal Cline, who did a fantastic job in providing research support for this project. I also owe a sincere debt of gratitude to Dr. Amanda Bittner, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, who acted as a the grant holder so that this research could be undertaken. i Executive Summary With the arrival of some 250 Syrian refugees to Newfoundland and Labrador in 2015, there has been much news coverage of the crisis both at the provincial and national level. Unfortunately, over the past few months, reader comments on on-line news stories from local provincial media (e.g., CBC, VOCM, The Telegram) have expressed a very negative and often prejudiced view on whether Newfoundland and Labrador should accept more refugees.

In general, the conclusions of my students stressed the positive activities of audiences, not the pathology of fanatics (see Jenson 1992) who Theodor Adorno would have viewed as the dupes of a monolithic popular culture industry (1991). In 1987 several of my graduate stu- dents’ ethnographies of fans were published in a special section on “fandom” in the folklore graduate student journal, Culture & Tradition (Volume 11). These exami- nations highlighted fan creativity, their collection and display of artifacts, and their social networking. Since then, fandom studies have burgeoned. Most notably, folklorist Camille Bacon-Smith’s extensive study, Enterprising Women: Television Fandom and the Creation of Popular Myth (1992), developed a positive view of fandom fur- ther by detailing how groups of women have used the frame of Star Trek to cre- atively communicate with one another about mutual concerns and life values.

  • 1 Vernacular Song, Cultural Identity, and Nationalism in Newfoundland
    www.ucalgary.ca/hic/ · ISSN 1492-7810 2004 · Vol. 4, No. 1 Vernacular Song, Cultural Identity, and Nationalism in Newfoundland, 1920-1955 E. David Gregory Abstract Although a force in Newfoundland politics and culture, nationalist sentiment was not strong enough in 1948 to prevent confederation with Canada. The absence among many Newfoundlanders of a strong sense of belonging to an independent country was the underlying reason for Smallwood’s referendum victory. Most islanders were descendants of immigrants from either Ireland or the English West Country. Nowadays, they view themselves as Newfoundlanders first and foremost but it took centuries for that common identity to be forged. How can we gauge when that change from old (European) to new (Newfoundland) identity took place in the outport communities? Vernacular song texts provide one valuable source of evidence. Three collections of Newfoundland songs – Gerald Doyle’s The Old Time Songs and Poetry of Newfoundland, Elisabeth Greenleaf’s Ballads and Sea Songs from Newfoundland, and Maud Karpeles’ Folk Songs from Newfoundland – illuminate the degree to which by the late 1920s a Newfoundland song-culture had replaced earlier cultural traditions. These songs suggest that the island was still a cultural mosaic: some outports were completely Irish, others were English, and in a few ethnically-mixed communities, including St. John’s, there was an emergent, home-grown, patriotic song-culture. Cultural nationalism was still a minority tradition in the Newfoundland of 1930. Just as the separatist movement in Québec seems to be waning, the call for an independent Newfoundland appears once more to be finding resonance among sections of the province's population.
