The schedule of acts for the 2015-2016 Stettler Variety Showcase season has already been announced with the reduction in the number of shows from six to five as a result of a reduction in provincial arts grants.
The season will begin with the dinner concert on Nov. 7, 2015, at the Stettler Community Hall, featuring Steve Pineo’s Elvis Show, a Calgary-based tribute to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll that includes a full band. Only 375 tickets will be available.
The Sunday concert series shows, each of which will be presented at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on the performance date, are as follows:
• Jan. 17, 2016: The Wardens — Music alongside slides from three men who spent their careers in national parks.
• Feb. 21, 2016: Lisa Cuthill (opening artist) — A musician with roots in Stettler and a varied musical reach.
