93min


In 2007, the legendary American duo White Stripes toured Canada. Besides playing the usual venues they challenged themselves and played in buses, cafés and for Indian tribal elders. Director Emmett Malloy followed the band and managed to capture both the special tour, extraordinary concert versions of the band's minimalist, raw, blues-inspired rock songs and the special relationship between the extroverted Jack White and the introspective Meg White - a formerly married couple who for a long time claimed to be siblings. "Under Great White Northern Lights" also features footage from the Canada Day stop in Saskatoon, including the surprise afternoon set at Eastview Bowl.

This special event is absolutely FREE of charge with no advance tickets, so be sure to arrive early!


CFCR 90.5FM is proud to be a community partner with the Broadway Theatre. Stay tuned for many more upcoming co-presentations!

transMarch 20 - Carl Baron
Time and Ticket Information TBA

Featured twice at Montreal’s Just for Laughs festival – and the headliner of the Just For Laughs national tour -- he’s ready to crack up Canada again! He’s a legend in Australia, where his last DVD outsold Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy combined! Melbourne’s The Age newspaper said “the audience was in a state of uncontrollable joy.” And the L.A. Times called him “a gifted physical comic and monologist” – because Carl could read out his shopping list and have the audience in stitches. Maybe it’s his big brown eyes or his almost shy, uncanny observations of everyday life? Whatever his secret, wherever Carl decides to perform - it sells out and audiences want more!
