1. Canada 150 through Artists’ Eyes during the FAA’s Summer Artists Residencies starting Jun 30

The summer artist residency, run by the Fredericton Arts Alliance, begins on Friday, June 30 and will run through to Labour Day. This year starts with a twist: they will be in Officers’ Square, housed in a brightly decorated, solar-powered shipping container. This initiative is known as Art in the Box, and will be more visible and more accessible than in previous years.

As in the past, they will pair up artists in a wide range of media – all selected by an independent jury to ensure excellence. Leading off on Friday are painter Derek Davidson and writer Mark Jarman.

Davidson works in acrylics, watercolour, and pen and ink, focusing on portraits, sports, and people involved in activities. The Officers’ Square location will give him greater scope for observing, and visitors may well find themselves incorporated into artwork without their realizing it.

Jarman will be reflecting in his writing on travel to various locations, comparing other places to Canada, and especially New Brunswick.

All artists in the summer residencies have been asked to think about what Canada 150 means to them and to incorporate their thoughts into their writing, painting, music, weaving, photography, sculpture, or whatever other media they are using. Artists will have their work on display in the Art in the Box during their residencies.

Davidson and Jarman will be in residence through Sunday, July 2. The following week (July 3 to 9) Davidson continues, pairing with musician Katherine Moller. Moller plans to write fiddle music reflecting the range of styles brought to New Brunswick over the years from France, the British Isles and elsewhere. Jarman will have a full week’s residency later in the summer.

Art in the Box will be open daily from 10am to 5pm, and artists may stay open on evenings when there are special events in Officers’ Square. On July 10, potter Chase Plourde and interactive performance artist Jennifer Lee Wiebe will take over the Box for the following week. Back to top.

2. Bard in the Barracks presents the Comedy of Errors in Barracks Square & Richard III in Odell Park Jun 22-Jul 9

Bard in the Barracks is celebrating Canada 150 with a specially expanded season featuring productions of two of the Bard’s best-loved plays, running in two different locations in downtown Fredericton from June 22 through July 9.

This year’s performances will kick off with The Comedy of Errors in Barracks Square. The Comedy of Errors is Shakespeare’s comedy about the chaos that ensues when two pairs of long-separated identical twins unknowingly find themselves in the same city, causing cases of mistaken identity to spiral out of control. For the production, Barracks Square will be transformed into the Swinging Seventies city of Ephesus, Italy, a fantastical seaside resort filled with bustling merchants, devout nuns, shady exorcists, dimwitted constables, and a blusteri ng, egocentric Duke.

The Comedy of Errors will run alongside Richard III in Odell Park. Richard III is Shakespeare’s story of the infamous, late-medieval English king who rose to the throne by brutally eliminating all who stood in his way. Featuring dark deeds, thrilling swordplay, and ghostly visitations in a Game of Thrones-like setting, Richard III will be staged in Bard in the Barracks’ trademark promenade style, which sees the audience immersed in the action and following scenes between different locations in the park.

The Comedy of Errors in Barracks Square and Richard III in Odell Park will be performed from June 22 through July 9, with performances of The Comedy of Errors set for June 22-24 and June 27-29 at 7:30pm, and June 25 and July 2 at 2pm. Richard III will be performed June 25, June 30, and July 2-July 9 at 7:30pm nightly. There are no shows on June 26 and July 1.

Single tickets range from $10-$18 with discounts for June 22 and 25 preview performances and for groups. Two-show passes, offering the patron’s second show at half price, are also available, for $15-$27. For full show and ticket details, as well as to purchase advance tickets, visit www.bardinthebarracks.com or www.facebook.com/BardInTheBarracks/.

3. Lansdowne House Concert with T. Thomason Jun 29

T. Thomason was among the very first artists at Lansdowne house concerts. You would have known him then as Molly and we all marvelled at the vocals, the song writing, and the musicianship. At 16 years of age, he kept us spell-bound. He returns to our series five years later as T. Thomason and his latest EP, sweet baby, is a declaration of independence for an artist and although you may have heard him before, you've never heard him like this. Having made a bright and infectious pop-rock statement on his 2014 album, Columbus Field, Thomason has graduated to a higher level of lyrical incisiveness and hard-hitting sonic experimentation on "sweet baby". In basic terms, it’s about leaving teenage angst behind and fully embracing who you really are.

ARTSnews June 29, 2017 Volume 18, Issue 26

With over a decade of experience in the music industry at 22 years old, T. Thomason is a force to be reckoned with in the East Coast Canadian music scene. T. Thomason has garnered multiple ECMA and MNA nominations, placements on Degrassi, song writing awards and recognition as one of Canada’s Top 25 Under 25 by CBC Music. T. has shared the stage with The Trews, Joel Plaskett, Kim Mitchell, Gord Downie and the Sadies, Collective Soul, Fefe Dobson, Dragonette, and Carly Rae Jepsen, to name a few.

In 2015 and 2016, T. took personal time off to hone his musical direction and develop a series of EPs. T. Thomason emerged in 2017 with the EP, sweet baby, released on May 12, 2017 on COAX Records, the first of a series of three. sweet baby is T. Thomason’s most audibly interesting yet, a conglomerate of T. Thomason’s song writing sensibilities and reverb-y, indie rock choruses, establishing T. Thomason as a Canadian tour- de-force. T. is a genuine artist and captivating performer, with the passion of a true activist. He is at the forefront of a generation in pursuit of a life lived with honesty, integrity and self-discovery.

T. Thomason will visit us at 41 River Front Way on Thursday, June 29. The cost is $20 at the door, and the concert will begin at 8pm. To reserve a ticket contact Paul McDonnell at [email protected] or 457-0826. Back to top.

5. Friends of Beaubears Island presents Canada’s Forgotten Father at The Playhouse Jun 30

June 30, 7pm Friends of Beaubears Island presents Canada’s Forgotten Father Written by Shawn McCarthy and eirected by Chris Matheson

Peter Mitchell, a lawyer, businessman, and politician from Newcastle, was numbered among those founders of our dominion, the Fathers of Confederation, and involved in the early governance of our country. Sadly, today his contributions are largely forgotten, overshadowed by those of others, and clouded by Mitchell’s own stormy temperament and the resentful attitude he exhibited at the close of his life. Please be advised that this performance contains mature themes. Back to top.
