Music lover Often, Debbie says, “I have to emcee a show, or take tickets or serve food. We have to do whatever we have to do.” Sometimes, at a late-night, post-show jam, she will add her own guitar to the melee of instruments. “I’ve played guitar for years, as a church youth leader, around campfires and with youth groups. I play guitar in a rock band at church. It’s great for mental health. Some people cook, some people garden—I like music,” she says. When the PEI Mutual Festival of Small Halls begins, “I’m just a cog in the wheel,” Debbie insists, but she laughs, “I’ve been a constant cog—I’m the only original cog left. “Every year for the festival, we have to hire new staff, and they are often 20- somethings with not a lot of knowledge of traditional music, Debbie says. She gets to see them awaken to it, just as she did, to discover “the value of music handed down from one generation to the next.” This happens “in rural kitchens every - where,” Debbie says, and she’s proud to support small halls across PEI that are like kitchens more people can fit into.

The film – which tells the story of a teenage hockey phenom who goes from obscurity to overnight fame – also stars a slew of Canadian talent. Among those are singer/songwriter Marc Jordan (whose composing credits include Rod Stewart’s “Rhythm of My Heart” and Cher’s “Taxi Taxi”), newcomers Noah Reid and Allie MacDonald, along with cameos by music artists Nelly Furtado, Dave Bidini, Hawksley Workman and John McDermott, journalists George Stroumboulopoulos and Evan Solomon, sports anchor Steve Kouleas, hockey dad Walter Gretzky and hockey star Theo Fleury. Unlike other musicals, the story doesn’t stop just for the sake of a song. Instead, the lyrics (written by McGowan) drive the plot. There are 20 original songs, among them one called “Darryl vs. the Kid” by Barenaked Ladies, as well as “Hugs” by Olivia Newton-John, Amy Sky and Marc Jordan, and five songs on which Hawksley Workman contributed.

Confederation Centre of the Arts stages were filled with music, drama, and laughter and welcomed visitors and artists from all over the world. Our galleries featured diverse and emerging artists who brought new live audiences here while receiving unprecedented digital media attention online. As we complete the first year of our 2019-24 Strategic Plan, we are entering into a global pandemic that has brought with it a paralyzing level of uncertainty. The Charlottetown Festival has been cancelled for the first time in its history, and Confederation Centre of the Arts has had to close its doors entirely as of March 16, 2020. What lies beyond the summer is unknown, so for now we are following the guidance of the Chief Public Health Officer and the Province of PEI – guidance which is updated daily and will ultimately indicate when and in what way we can reopen, and how gathering restrictions will impact our ability to deliver various programs. We remain committed to our Strategic Plan and our three pillars of Artistic Excellence, Engaged Diverse Communities, and Organizational Sustainability. We remain committed to our 12 priority areas as outlined in the plan, and the many resulting goals and actions that are part of our implementation plan.
