Normally this is where we say “It’s that time again!” as Show Tune Showdown, the fundraiser competition amongst some of Ottawa’s best musical theatre companies, fills the seats of Meridian Theatres at Centrepointe every April…but this year is set to be the final one! We guess we should instead say “This is your last chance to catch one of Ottawa’s epic musical theatre events of the year!”
It’s that time again! 2024’s Show Tune Showdown, one of the most exciting nights in Ottawa theatre, is hitting Meridian Theatres at Centrepointe on April 27.

We chatted with Rob Bowman, the 2024 producer and concept originator, to learn more about what we can expect from this beloved annual event.
March has certainly been flying by, and this weekend is the calm between the storms of St. Patrick’s Day and Easter, so take a moment to breathe as spring officially begins.

Tone Cluster presents Letters to Myself for their spring concert. Described as a poignant, funny, and heartfelt discussion between different genres, you can expect that quality and passionate performance that we’ve come to know and love from Tone Cluster.
We’re getting into the home stretch of the holidays and I hope everyone is having a great December with family and friends. There are lots of ideas here for you no matter if you’re celebrating with others, need to get gifts, or just want to check out all the great things this season has to offer.
It’s a busy and beautiful May weekend, so get out there to some of the great events happening around our city.
