Nov. 15 - Nov. 17 7:30pm plus 2:00pm on the 17th GREASE The Musical This is the 1950's rock 'n' roll musical. Rydell High's spirited class of '59; gum chewing, hubcap stealing, hot rod loving boys with D.A.'s and their wise cracking girls in bobby sox and pedal pushers---capture the look and sound of the 1950s in a rollicking musical. While hip Danny Zuko and wholesome Sandy Dumbrowski resolve the problems of their mutual attraction, the gang sings and dances its way through such nostalgic scenes as the pajama party, the prom, the burger palace, and the drive in movie. Songs recall the Buddy Holly hiccups, the Little Richard yodels and the Elvis Presley wiggles that made the music of the 50s a gas. Grease's eight year run made Broadway history and its recent long running revival put it among today's most popular musicals. The Rose Theatre (905) 874-2800 More info... |

November 18 - Sunday 6:00pm & 8:30pm George Carlin One of the most influential comedians of the past half-century, and more than any other comedian since Lenny Bruce, Carlin has broken taboos, pushed back the forces of censorship, shattered common assumptions about what stand-up was “supposed to be”, and found countless funny ways to look at and skewer the absurdities of the human experience.
If none of this rings enough bells to have you racing to get tickets... you need to read on
To date, George Carlin's 13 HBO specials have garnered three Emmy nominations and won six CableACE awards, and thus far eight of those HBO shows have been released in two separate DVD packages. Carlin picked up two additional Emmy nominations in the early ‘90's, playing the part of Mister Conductor in 45 episodes of the critically acclaimed PBS children's show, “Shining Time Station.”
In 1997, Carlin ventured into a new field as Hyperion published his first book, Braindroppings, a collection of original routines, one-liners, commentaries and essays. In hard cover and paperback, the book spent a total of 40 weeks on The New York Times Best-Seller list and has sold 850,000 copies. The “book-on-tape” version, read by Carlin himself, won the 2001 Grammy in the Best Spoken Comedy category, the latest of his three Grammys.
A second book, Napalm & Silly Putty, written in the same style as the first, was published in April 2001, reaching the Number One spot on the New York Times Best-Seller list in its second week. The combined hardback and paperback editions have sold over 500,000 copies and a third book, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, followed. This one went to Number 2 on the New York Times Best-Seller list as well as being banned by Wal-Mart. When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? and George were both nominated for two Quill Awards.
Meanwhile Carlin has leant his acting and vocal talents to numerous movies and animated features including Kevin Smith's Jersey Girl, Tarzan II, The Wild Life, and Happily N'Ever After and most recently, Cars where George was the voice of "Fillmore" the hippie van.
And somehow he still manages to make time for more than 90 live appearances a year! The Rose Theatre (905) 874-2800 More info... |

November 29 - Thursday 8:00 pm Thursday Night Studio Series Presents ... HARRY MANX Harry Manx is beyond a doubt one of the most original Folk-World-Blues performers touring today. Born in the U.K. and now residing in Canada, Manx performs lap slide guitar, blues harp, the six-stringed banjo, and most uniquely the Mohan Veena, a guitar/sitar hybrid created and named by Indian musical guru Vishwa Mohan Bhatt.
Harry has lived and toured for years throughout Europe, Japan and India. In 1990, while in Japan, he discovered a recording of the Indian slide guitarist, V.M. Bhatt. It proved to be an epiphany that soon drew Harry to India to become a student of Bhatt's who later won a Grammy Award for his work with Ry Cooder in 1994. Manx remained with V.M. Bhatt for five years in a quest to master the sonic intricacies and beauty inherent in the Mohan Veena.
Harry's music has been called an "essential link" between the music of East and West. His songs are short stories that draw from the essence of the blues and the depth of Indian polytonal ragas. It's more than evident on Harry's critically acclaimed recordings, including his new CD "West Eats Meet."
Harry's shows are intimate and magical. Audiences inevitably become enraptured in the diversity of his performances, listening intently while he performs original songs as well as unique takes on classic blues numbers and the odd pop song like Crazy Love by Van Morrison performed on the Mohan Veena.
A wry sense of humor and worldly stories enhance Harry Manx's live performances that continue to build audiences exponentially. The Rose Theatre (905) 874-2800 More info... |
