– LIVE @ the Centre 2022-2023 lineup just announced –

August 30, 2022 – Several famous faces will be hitting the stage at Confederation Centre of the Arts this fall and winter. The Centre announced the 2022-2023 lineup for LIVE @ the Centre, which features award-winning musicians, street-dancing, comedy, and more.

The program kicks off with internationally acclaimed musician Ron Sexsmith, and includes platinum-selling artist Serena Ryder, singer-songwriter William Prince, and reggae royalty Jah’Mila.

P.E.I.’s Lennie Gallant will also return with his long-awaited Christmas show. “The Innkeeper’s Christmas was scheduled for last year, but had to be cancelled due to COVID,” says Darcy Campbell, director of LIVE @ the Centre. “We are long overdue for some holiday cheer.”

Other Atlantic Canadians hitting the stage this season include The Ennis Sisters with their Christmas show, a bilingual show from Island artist Josée Boudreau, folk musician Ian Sherwood, and Kitbag Theatre’s production of The Songs of Johnny and June, starring Jacob Hemphill and Melissa MacKenzie.

Beyond music, LIVE @ the Centre will also feature award-winning street-dance company Bboyizm, Yuk’s Yuk’s Comedy, and Hyprov: Improv Under Hypnosis, an entirely unique show co-starring comedy legend Colin Mochrie.

“We are thrilled to be presenting another eclectic lineup of entertainment to the Island,” says Campbell. “There is something for everyone, and many fan favourites.”

For the full LIVE @ the Centre lineup, visit confederationcentre.com/liveatthecentre. Additional shows will be announced at a later date.

Tickets will go on sale to Confederation Centre members on August 30, and to the public on September 1 at noon. Patrons who are not yet Confederation Centre members can sign up now to gain early access to tickets by visiting confederationcentre.com/membership.

Tickets can be purchased online, via phone at 1-800-565-0278, or in person at the Centre’s box office.
