BEAUT BEAUCHAMP is The Coach. A straight talkin strategist of “the field”, who’ll rally your sorry self up off the bench and right into The Game.

A new play, written & performed by Aaron Pickett, with special guests. Produced by The Vallican Whole and Material Theatre, this is our April offering for the Up Close & Intimate Series.

What if a collage football coach went on a psychedelic adventure, discovered the meaning of the creative life, and was tasked with giving a team of artists a pre-game pep talk?This one-act, a hybrid of stand up comedy and character performance, is a silly and profound examination of what makes an artist tick, reflecting on courage, communion, self-doubt and perserverence, the battle against artificial intelligence and disposable “content” culture, and the enduring human impulse to create and iterate.

If you were at the New Works Cabaret last October, you may have seen an excerpt from this show.

Tickets available at the door – $25, $15 for low-income community members. Concession will be open.

We need a few volunteers to help at the door and in the kitchen – you get in for free! Contact us to help out!

Two Pianos, No Rodeo
2026-05-27 19:00 - 22:00
Up Close and Intimate with Bob Wiseman and Mike Boguski.

This isn’t a concert.It’s a piano séance in two acts.Bob Wiseman and Mike Boguski, two of Canada’s most unpredictable keyboard minds are taking turns dismantling and reimagining what a solo piano set can be. One piano. Two artists. Zero cowboy hats.

THE PLAYERS:BOB WISEMAN Founding member of Blue Rodeo. Punk pianist. Lo-fi provocateur. Think Monk meetsBurroughs at a Toronto dive bar. Expect sound collage, biting satire, sonic left turns. Nothing’s off limits.MIKE BOGUSKI Current Blue Rodeo pianist. Ambient soul explorer. A master of restraint and reverie. Piano as landscape. Melody as memory. Quiet storms and cinematic swells. Musical cliff jumping.

THE NIGHT:Each artist takes the same piano and launches in opposite directions – solo, stripped down, wide open.One piano. Two deeply personal journeys.No safety net. No genre crutches. No rodeo.Come for the clash of styles.Stay for the communion.This is piano as protest, as prayer or as whatever they feel that night.“Two Pianos, No Rodeo” is for those who like their art live, unexpected and slightly dangerous. Think of it less like a show and more like two sonic postcards from different planets sent through the same grandpiano.

Part of the Up Close & Intimate Series, there will be refreshments for sale.
