CLOSER THAN EVER Moves to Sagebrush Theatre

Western Canada Theatre is pleased to offer an extra treat along with its first show of the season: the musical revue CLOSER THAN EVER is moving to Sagebrush Theatre but Pavilion Theatre pricing is remaining in place!

The move to Sagebrush Theatre, WCT’s mainstage, means a few changes for our audiences:

• A Change in Dates: The show’s dates are now Thursday, September 11 to Friday, September 19.

• The Pay-What-You-Can Saturday Matinee is on the only Saturday of the run: 2:00pm, September 13.

• We will still celebrate Opening Night on Saturday, September 13.

• A WCT Sagebrush Theatre show at Pavilion Theatre pricing means a savings of up to 22% for adults and 33% for seniors, depending on the performance!

CLOSER THAN EVER is moving to Sagebrush Theatre because of on-going upgrades to the heating and cooling system at the Pavilion Theatre, thanks in part to a generous grant from the City of Kamloops and a contribution through the Federal Gas Tax Program through the TNRD. Once completed, the new system will be another wonderful treat for actors, audience and staff alike.

Told entirely through song, CLOSER THAN EVER is an intimate, insightful tale about love, security, happiness—and holding onto them in a world that pulls you in a hundred directions at once. Filled with hilarious and touching songs about aging, parenting, and dreams both fulfilled and unrequited, it’s like a musical “how-to” manual for the middle aged.

The witty and universal songs of CLOSER THAN EVER will only be enhanced by the larger venue. A quarter century after its Off-Broadway debut, and several theatrical awards later, CLOSER THAN EVER remains universal and timeless.
