Photo by David Cooper A slice of Canadian heritage is coming to Gateway Theatre with the presentation of the critically-acclaimed musical Hey Viola! April 13 to 22. If you’ve missed the 2022 presentation at Anvil Centre, no not miss this tour-de-force performance by Canadian jazz and blues singer Krystle Dos Santos, as she takes the audience on a musical exploration of civil rights trailblazer, Viola Desmond. Vancouver songstress and actor Krystle Dos Santos, with the support of live musicians, brings the life of Viola Desmond to the stage using the dynamic and inspirational music that filled the home of this trailblazer of the civil rights movement. Hey Viola! takes the audience on an extraordinary journey through Viola’s life and the events that shaped her, from the 1917 Halifax explosion to the civil rights struggles of the 1950s. Featuring hot jazz, gospel, and traditional spirituals, this eye-opening musical brings bold, new energy to the life and times of a remarkable woman. “You won’t want to miss her in this cabaret-style performance where she shares the inspiring true story of Viola Desmond. This musical format enriches the telling of Viola Desmond’s amazing and powerful story, which is ultimately an important Canadian story,” said Barbara Tomasic, Gateway Theatre’s Director of Artistic Programs. Who is Viola Desmond, other than the newest face on the Canadian ten-dollar bill? She is best known for her courage in refusing to leave the whites-only section of Nova Scotia’s Roseland cinema in 1946, a decision that made history. What was the fire within this successful black Canadian businesswoman that gave her the courage and confidence to stand up to systemic racial injustices in Canada? Her story is told through music and song featuring brilliant hits of the era from Nina Simone, Sam Cooke, The Mills Brothers, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Richard M. Jones, and more—plus songs that influenced history including Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, A Change is Gonna Come, Sinnerman, and Mississippi Goddam. Hey Viola! was created by Tracey Power (Glory, Chelsea Hotel, and The Songs of Leonard Cohen), Co-creator and Director, and Krystle Dos Santos, extraordinary actor, blues, jazz and soul singer and creator of “BLAK”, exploring Canada’s Black history.  “I feel so honoured to be able to share Viola’s story, she was such an incredible, driven, intelligent and strong woman, an inspiration on so many levels,” stated Dos Santos. “Her story is such an important message to share, and is still relevant in today’s world. As Canadians, we have to recognize that this is not a unique story in our history, but one that reflects an imperfect culture, past and present, and is one of many examples of how we can always strive to be better.” Hey Viola! runs April 13 to 22, 2023 at Gateway Theatre, Mainstage, 6500 Gilbert Road, Richmond, BC, and is presented in English with Traditional and Simplified Chinese surtitles.

Pizza Hut's personal pan pizzas are my favorite along with the $10 box that I love Sharing with a friend. Because the $10 box includes: 8 slices of pan pizza, 6 breadsticks, 8 cinnamon sticks! So good, which is why I recommend personal pizzas for yourself (I get 2 for myself usually) and the $10 box for yourself and/or with a friend!
