The CAP Puts Out a Call for Help for Live Music in Fredericton with Fundraising Initiative #KEEPITLIVE

Long established as the home of live music in Fredericton, New Brunswick, The CAP has been provided a crucial platform for local artists, a touring destination, and the source of a lot of good times.

In Review: ‘The Fifth Wall’ Brings Important Lessons to an Uncertain World

The COVID-19 pandemic has been nothing short of a worldwide disaster. From pole to pole, we’ve seen several businesses come to a close, countless lives lost, and our very way of life altered for what’s sure to be the long run. The losses we’ve experienced from the pandemic will never outweigh the things we’ve gained.

Despite this, there’s something to be said about the introspection opportunities that we’ve been afforded. With that in mind, if any art project is up for the job of addressing these introspections, it has to be The Fifth Wall, the multi-artist project headed by Fredericton theatre artists Corenski Nowlan and Scott Shannon, of Herbert The Cow Productions and Nasty Shadows Theatre Co., respectively.
