Tonight, and before the matinee tomorrow, the Baker Street Band will be joined by the immensely talented Kayla Williams. Kayla’s music is fun and catchy but has a depth not usually seen in most pop music that gives it meaning and longevity. Her lyrics and melodies are immediately enjoyable and she has a remarkable consistency for delivering well-written, memorable songs. She effortlessly weaves harmonies and instrumentation to craft music that can speak to anyone. She draw...s her inspiration from oldies classics like the Beach Boys and Bee Gees. Her reverence for Beach Boy leader, Brian Wilson, drove her to meticulously study his work while growing up. As a result, her songs often have a flavour of days gone by. Kayla is from Red Deer, AB and also plays in the comedy duo The Dirrty Show. With this act she’s toured across Canada, parts of the U.S and Australia. She has her own YouTube channel that started up in 2009 and has proven to be massive in her musical journey. Through YouTube fans she ended up connecting and meeting her idol Brian Wilson himself in 2011 who watched some of her Beach Boys covers and said you’ve got a great voice!. This is when her heart stopped. She’s got a wonderful group of dedicated followers, some of which are now supporting her on Patreon, donating monthly to her weekly videos (which is now around 150 vids). There’s lots of exciting endeavors coming soon including playing more locally and recording in studio some of her catchy original songs. Stay tuned for lots more!

Gwendolyn McCagg has designed the costumes for our series from the beginning. Her tireless dedication to this series is profound. Her work speaks for itself, as anyone who has seen these shows would attest. Out of all the cast and crew of this series, Gwendolyn might be the most valuable. Her contribution to theatre in Central Alberta is immeasurable. If she stopped designing costumes and coordinating costumes, the void left behind would likely affect all Red Deer theatre. Thank you Gwen for everything you do. Tree House Youth Theatre Prime Stock Theatre Central Alberta Theatre

Rounding out our cast is Paul Sutherland and Jason Steele. These two actors are the backbone of this series. They have appeared in every show, and both were instrumental in the success of this series. Paul is perfection as an actor. His portrayal of Watson is incredibly deep and layered. Watch Paul on stage, and you will see that every thing he does is a choice that is based on the given circumstances, a total understanding of what the objective of the scene/show is, and to...tally correct. Jason is Sherlock Holmes. Without a doubt, no one could fill his shoes in Central Alberta. I couldn’t imagine anyone else taking on this role, nor would I want to. He has taken this role and given it great depth. Thank you both for everything.

Our crew is small, but mighty. We have our Assistant Stage Manager Heidi Oostenbrug, and our light designer/stage manager Braden Guido. Heidi joins our team as an ASM, and is new to this series. She has been wonderful to work with, and demonstrates a wonderful work ethic. This will serve her well in all endeavors. Braden is really the glue that holds this all together. The future is very much bright for him, and we have no doubt that he will excel at the highest level in whatever he chooses to do in theatre. The Edmonton theatre community is about to get an all-star, and we look forward to watching him develop into a true master of his craft.
