SUMMARY:The Gondoliers
DESCRIPTION:The Gondoliers\, or The King of Barataria\, is a Savoy Opera\, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert. It premiered at the Savoy Theatre in London on 7 December 1889 and ran for a very successful 554 performances (at that time the fifth longest-running piece of musical theatre in history)\, closing on 30 June 1891. This was the twelfth comic opera collaboration of fourteen between Gilbert and Sullivan. \nThe story of the opera concerns brothers Marco and Giuseppe Palmieri\, a pair of Venetian gondoliers who are told that one of them is heir to the throne of the fictional kingdom of Barataria; until it can be discovered by the Grand Inquisitor which of them is the heir\, they must rule jointly. Unbeknownst to the brothers\, who have just married Venetian girls\, the heir was wed in infancy to the daughter of the Spanish Duke of Plaza-Toro\, who is herself in love with her father’s servant. A subplot concerns the impoverished Duke attempting to improve his finances by turning himself into a limited liability company. \nJoin us for an evening of song\, dance and humour such that only the operas of Gilbert and Sullivan can provide. \nMusical direction by Peter Butterfield and stage direction by Rachel Moss. \nThere are two shows at Dave Dunnet Theatre: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-gondoliers-presented-by-the-victoria-gilbert-sullivan-society-tickets-1840610969959 \nThere are also two shows at the Charlie White Theatre\, Mary Winspear Centre: https://marywinspear.ca/events-and-programs/the-gondaliers/?srsltid=AfmBOoo-nHe8Su7T8ajd73LtNpQ8TSWaxpG19lH-q_yZcZKPVcWp5Q-W \nPhone: 250-656-0275. Email: info@marywinspear.ca. \nBox Office. Mon – Fri 9:30am – 5:00pm. \nGreat gifts for those G&S fans you love!

On 23 May\, the Sooke Region Museum is hosting Darn It!\, a collaboration with Zero Waste Sooke. A team of darning experts\, including Paula Johanson\, Anne Boquist\, Gillian Gravenor\, and Emily Trim\, will teach you how to darn holes in your damaged clothing. No experience is necessary—all you need to bring is the item to be darned\, some yarn that’s compatible with it in width and type\, a darning needle and/or crochet hook\, and a darning mushroom\, darning egg\, incandescent lightbulb\, or small glass jar. (Wooden darning eggs and mushrooms can be purchased for this workshop as an option.) \nThis is the first of two “reskilling” workshops presented by the Sooke Region Museum and Zero Waste Sooke. These workshops aim to teach historically rooted skills and show their continued importance in building an environmentally sustainable present. They fuse the two host organizations’ respective focuses: the Museum is committed to inspiring an appreciation of our past and its relevance to our present and future\, while Zero Waste Sooke is dedicated to a clean(er)\, green(er)\, region that reduces its ecological footprint in common sense and practical ways. \nAt Darn It!\, you’ll learn a fun and useful skill passed down through generations\, all while restoring your garments and keeping them out of the landfill. \nRegistration for each reskilling workshop costs $15 and is limited to 15 people – so register soon to get your spot! If the registration fee is a barrier to you participating in the reskilling workshops\, contact the Museum (250-642-6351 or info@sookeregionmuseum.ca) and we can reduce or waive the fee. If you are able to pay a bit more for registration\, you will have the option at checkout to donate money to these reskilling workshops to remove financial barriers for others.

SUMMARY:Presenting the Scientific Documentary\, CLIMATE TRAILS\, on Weather Geo-engineering & Its Hazards
DESCRIPTION:Humans have been trying to control the weather for time immemorial. Since the 1930’s\, military records show this is actually being done\, by spraying various salts\, ice and chemicals into the sky. For decades these operations have become more and more covert. However\, in recent years our skies have been so dramatically altered by what have been called Chem Trails\, and strange weather such as Heat Domes and Rain Rivers\, that people around the world have begun to question\, “What is going on?” The most recently released documentary CLIMATE TRAILS reveals that what is now labeled Stratospheric Arial Spraying is poisoning our Air\, Water and Soil with multiple chemicals that are affecting our health. \nSlowly\, more and more countries are attempting to stop these geo-engineering activities\, which now have can manipulate and move entire weather systems\, including hurricanes and tornado’s and are wreaking havoc on our Planet. \nThe Documentary follows a journey through altered skies\, personal stories\, and communities questioning what lingers in the atmosphere above them. \nThe film will be followed by discussion\, including a range of suggestions for detoxing our bodies from the inhaled poisons. \nCome and join us. \nWebsite: https://evvnt.com/events/?_ev_id=3635656 \nDate and Time: On Sun\, 24 May 2026 18:30 – Sun\, 24 May 2026 20:30 \nVenue Details: Church of Truth – Community of Conscious Living\, 111 Superior Street\, Victoria\, British Columbia\, V8V 1T2\, Canada \nCategory: Community | Fundraisers | Charities \nPrice:\nGeneral admission: CAD 10.00
