Between the Sheets
Harbour City Theatre

Nanaimo’s Western Edge Theatre continues its 15th Anniversary season with "Between the Sheets" by Jordi Mand, an explosive drama about two women and a single night that changes their lives. Set in a grade three classroom on parent-teacher night, "Between the Sheets" begins as a seemingly-innocent meeting between Marion, the mother of a special needs child, and “Miss Stewart,” her child’s teacher. Before it’s through, however, it will have turned into a passionate confrontation in which the needs of the two women are also powerfully laid bare, as they battle for the child, themselves, and what they believe to be true.

The White Room

Nasti Weather is the fallen gospel gutter folk creation of East Vancouver's Anastasia Schlechtleitner. They put on powerful, genuinely heartfelt live shows that manage to bridge the gap between a lively and deeply introspective performance. Nasti Weather is in the eye of the beholder but is consistently marked by uniquely haunting garage jazz vocal stylings and profound yet cheeky lyricism…

Hello listeners! This is Jesse Woodward, Executive Coordinator at CHLY. All of us here would like to thank each and every one of you who donated through 2018. With your donation, we managed to raise just under $28,000 this year, and because of it, will be hiring a Podcast Coordinator in 2019. This fund drive, our grand prize package winner is Tyler Brown. He's won an awesome Tivoli radio, a CHLY tote, as well as a PSA package to triple support for a non-profit community group of his choice.
