Steve Strongman In Concert at Drury Lane PLUS Saturday, September 21, 2024: 8 pm Price: $50 inclusive TICKETS: drurylane.ca BOX OFFICE: (905) 637-3979 STEVE STRONGMAN is a versatile talent, and restless one. By constantly pushing himself in new directions, he has kept himself vital. His talent is huge, and impossible to miss, and it’s matched by his staggering musical ambition - as Guitar-Slinger. Songwriter or Vocalist. The same structures and progressions that animate Blues And Roots music can also choke the air out of it, smothering it in caricature and cliche. But Strongman is a subtle shape-shifter who manages to slip that trap without betraying the music he loves.Throughout, he never sounds an inauthentic note or loses touch with the essence of the Blues. Recommended for 18+ Adult language & content. For groups of 12 or more and information on accessible seating contact the Box Office. Award Winning Canadian Bluesman

Loveable comedian Anne Marie Scheffler stars in this hit one woman comedy about dating again after your marriage ends. Anne Marie takes the audience on her roller-coaster journey from happily married mom to full-fledged divorced “MILF.” (It stands for Mothers are Incredible, Lovely and Fantastic. What do you think it means?) Anne Marie navigates dating apps (to Tinder or not to Tinder?!), old boyfriends, one-night stands, just having a lot of sex (It’s healing!) and learning to love again. Though her children are her world, her world has changed, and she needs her fellow MILFs to fill in the space left by her divorce. Based on Anne Marie's own life, this is as powerful as it is funny. A must-see girls’ night out. Because after marriage… comes dating!
