We’re inviting you to participate in a series of events, both virtual and in-person, over the next two weeks. We can’t sing together yet but we can have some fun!
The festival has four elements.
Our Favourite Sounds - April 25 to May 6 virtually ‘hosted’ by PP on social media- We invite all of you to help create some themed musical theatre playlists by sending in your personal favourites. We’ll compile the lists on our website and will share samples on our social media over the months of May and June.
We’d like to create three different playlists:
- straight-up favourite musical songs
- favourite sing-along musical songs
- favourite musical songs to workout with
