“WATER” – the final show in the Trio’s Candlelit Concert Series, Sunday, June 7, 2 PM and 7 PM.
The Crimson Crescendo Trio are renowned for their creativity, extraordinary musicianship, and compelling storytelling. The music for each concert is originally handcrafted and specially arranged by the Trio – you won’t hear our music performed anywhere else or by anyone else!
What to expect : The Elements Series features a total of four concerts all staged with the lights way down low and a beautiful glowing candlelit setting at the Peninsula Studio Theatre, North Bluff Road White Rock (next to the Centennial Arena). Our program for this and all concerts in the series is a rich collection of evocative music themed around The Elements.
WATER – think of music relating to flowing streams, raindrops, rivers, sailing, (…you get the picture!). As always, there are some musical surprises in store! The theatre has good level access and ample parking and is suitable for all ages.
The Trio welcomes you to share a unique musical experience with their shows at 2 PM and 7:00 PM.
NOTE: Performances typically last approximately just over an hour duration, without break.
Rajiv Joseph’s Gruesome Playground Injuries is a darkly humorous exploration of love and friendship. Doug (Jesse Irving) and Kayleen (Maddy Hillis) are 8 years old when they meet for the first time in the school nurse’s office. Doug has injured his face attempting a stunt on his bike while Kayleen has sought relief for a stomach ache. They are both in pain but find a strange relief in each other’s presence. Over the next 30 years, we meet Doug and Kayleen under increasingly grisly circumstances. Doug is convinced that Kayleen has the power to heal him while Kayleen is unsure if she can even heal herself. Each injury brings them closer together but how much pain can a person tolerate?
Tender and humane, Gruesome Playground Injuries reflects on our capacity to care for each other and delivers a funny new perspective on how pain shapes our relationships.
Directed by Harrison MacDonald
