SUMMARY:Festival by the Marsh - July 5 - 28
DESCRIPTION:Festival by the Marsh Features Several Plays\, A Jazz Concert\, and Artist-in-Residence\, Workshops\, and More!\n\nThe Festival by the Marsh\, which runs July 5 to 26\, is excited to kick off its 2023 edition with a presentation of “The Importance of Romance” featuring two one act comedies at beautiful Fort Beausejour in Aulac – just outside of Sackville New Brunswick. The charming love stories\, set in the late 1800s\, will be performed outside in the 18th century fort. The performances run Wednesday\, July 5 to Saturday\, July 8 at 7 pm. Please bring your own chair\, and bug spray is recommended.\n\nThe Festival also features a staged reading of “We’re Still Here: Tales From 2020 and Beyond” written and directed by Charlie Rhindress. The play\, which will be presented on July 13 at 7:30 pm at the Sackville Legion\, is a moving and sometimes funny look back at the Covid experience based on interviews with dozens of Atlantic Canadians. The performance is pay what you can.\nThe Festival also features return of the popular comedy “The Good\, the Bad and the Ugly” for two performances on July 14 and 15 at 7:30 pm at the Sackville Legion. The play\, which has received tremendous responses from audiences\, is a humorous smorgasbord of love lost\, love found\, lust\, dramatic tension and absurdity with love potions\, sleeping potions and death potions!\nOn July 16\, acclaimed jazz musician Mali Obomsawin will perform a concert at the Sackville Legion at 7:30 pm.\n\nAnother main theatre presentation for the Festival this year is the world premiere of the thoughtful play “Retrospective” written and directed by Sue Rose\, which runs July 21 to July 24 at the Studio theatre (see Festival website for details). Artist Vivan Lake is an acclaimed mask-maker. A prestigious public art gallery has mounted a retrospective of her work. At the opening\, she gives a speech before adoring fans and is then interviewed by the overly zealous gallery director whose probing questions cut a little too close to the bone. Who are you when you’re not being true to yourself? Vivan is about to find out!\n\nThe Festival also features ““NOW AND FOREVER A Musical Tribute to Anne Murray” on Tuesday\, July 25 at the Sackville Music Barn. This play\, an intimate evening celebrating the life and music of Canadian icon Anne Murray\, is presented by Live Bait Theatre and the Anne Murray Centre and is created and hosted by Charlie Rhindress. Featuring Jennie Del Motte\, Mirren Lithwick\, Heather MacIntyre and Carley Varner-Joudrey\, who all appeared in Live Bait’s incredibly popular tribute to Rita MacNeil\, I’m Not What I Seem\, will perform over a dozen of Anne’s greatest hits. The evening is hosted by best-selling author Charlie Rhindress\, who will read from his upcoming book\, Nova Scotia’s Women of Song\, and tell stories from Anne’s life.\nThe Festival also features performances of short historical themed plays and new short plays at the Sackville Farmers Market and in Bill Johnstone Park\, Artist-in-Residence Angela Thibodeau\, and workshops in drama\, writing and fine arts for young people.\n\nFor more details on the Festival\, or to reserve spaces in workshops or to buy ticket for things that require them\, visit www.festivalbythemarsh.com or call (506) 940-2248.

SUMMARY:Mali Obomsawin in concert (jazz)
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are available by clicking here\, by calling (506) 940-2248\, or visiting 62 Main St (in the back building) Tuesday to Friday 12 noon to 4 pm\n\nMALI OBOMSAWIN (they/she) is an award winning bassist\, songwriter and composer from Abenaki First Nation at Odanak. With an expansive background in American roots\, rock\, and jazz\, Obomsawin carries several music traditions. Mali’s debut album Sweet Tooth has received international acclaim since its release (Out of Your Head Records 2022)\, including rave reviews and “best of 2022” placement in The Guardian\, JazzTimes\, and NPR. A Smithsonian Folkways Recordings artist\, they spent the years 2014-2021 touring internationally with beloved folk-rock band Lula Wiles. An in-demand bassist in the folk and jazz circuits\, Mali appears often as an accompanist with contemporaries like Jake Blount and Lizzie No\, and has performed at premier festivals like Newport and Philly Folk Fest. She can also be found in galleries and creative music spaces with the likes of Peter Apfelbaum\, Taylor Ho Bynum\, and Bill Cole’s Untempered Ensemble. In addition to their artistic work\, Obomsawin is a community organizer dedicated to land justice and tribal sovereignty.\nMali received the 2022 International Folk Music Association’s “Rising Tide Award\,” which honors young artists who embody the values and ideals of the folk community through their creative work\, community role\, and public voice. They also received the New England Foundation of the Arts’ “New Work New England” award in 2022. Mali is a member of The Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band and Indigenous Performance Productions’ Welcome To Indian Country. As a composer-arranger\, they scored the upcoming film “We Are The Warriors\,” collaborated with Red Sky Performance and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra\, and Palaver Strings. Beyond the stage Mali is a community organizer and advocate for Indigenous rights\, environmental justice and landback. She works as a writer and educator with the Wabanaki-led Sunlight Media Collective to document and promote stories at the intersection of environmental justice and Tribal sovereignty. Her journalism has been published recently in Smithsonian\, National Performance Network\, and the Boston Globe. In 2020\, Mali co-founded Bomazeen Land Trust\, the first ever Wabanaki land trust\, where she currently serves as executive director.\n\nAbout Sweet Tooth:\n\nA suite for Indigenous resistance\, the new album from Wabanaki bassist\, composer\, and songwriter Mali Obomsawin flies in the face of Western tropes that insist Indigenous cultures are monolithic\, trapped in time. Instead\, Obomsawin highlights centuries of clever adaptation and resistance that have fueled the art and culture of Wabanaki people.
