Excellent live music this weekend at Fionn’s. Check out the Steve Aresenault Band this Friday and Saturday night. He hits the stage at 8 PM.

Born and raised in P.E.I., Steve grew up listening to country and classic rock. It wasn’t till he was seventeen, when he first picked up the guitar. Teaching himself the basic chords and learning how to play songs gave Steve the drive to pursue music. Singing and playing guitar became a huge passion which led Steve to compete in singing competitions all around P.E.I.. Winning various competitions and playing with a local band for a few years, Steve decided to move to Alberta to further his career in 1999. Since then, Steve has played all over Alberta and out of province as an Artist. While pursuing his own career, Steve also played guitar for other country acts such as Duane Steele, George Canyon, Jason Greeley, Drew Gregory and Mackenzie Porter, just to name a few. Currently Steve stays busy playing for artists and doing his own shows. Steve has been recording new music and will be releasing a single very shortly. Support local live music.

Curtain set to open on Lindsay Thurber production, Head Over Heels

Published on March 16, 2023

Red Deer Public Schools

Get ready to laugh, party, witness exciting fight choreography, and groove to the music of The Go-Gos in Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School’s production of Head Over Heels The Musical, High School Edition. Performances run March 17 – 25 in Studio A at the school.

A mash-up of posh and punk, Head Over Heels is an Elizabethan romp about a royal family that must prevent an oracle’s prophecy of doom. In order to save their beloved kingdom of Arcadia, the family embarks on a madcap journey wrought with mistaken identities, prophetic riddles, scandal and self-discovery. Set to the exuberant beats of the 80s pop music of The Go-Gos, Head Over Heels is a heartfelt show where love is celebrated and the beat is divine!

About 50 students from Grades 9-12 are involved in the production. This includes three classes of Musical Theatre, Technical Theatre and Pit Band, who make up the show’s actors, production crew, and pit band musicians.

“Head Over Heels is a show that is relatively new,” said Tara Koett, Director. “I suspect that not a lot of the audience is familiar with it as it premiered on Broadway in 2018. It is a Renaissance comedy and the dialogue is written in verse. In tandem with this Renaissance comedy, it’s also a jukebox musical of the music of The Go-Gos. It’s very, very fun and it’s a sweet and clever script that captures the modern sensibilities of what a lot of us go through on our journeys to find love.”

Koett said one of her favourite aspects of the show is that while with many jukebox musicals, the songs can feel shoehorned in, in Head Over Heels, the songs are placed in the production in a way that feels organic. “For people who don’t know The Go-Gos, like many of our high school students before beginning this course, it truly feels like those songs and those lyrics belong in the story or are from the characters themselves, so I think it’s really well done for a jukebox musical.”

Koett added she encourages students, family and friends as well as the general community to take in the production and see the exceptional skills of the high school students involved.

“This show is so much fun. It’s such a beautiful celebration of all different types of love. It has such catchy, high energy music, relatable characters and representation, themes relevant to 2023, and it’s a mishmash of posh and punk that is different from what a lot of people associate with musical theatre,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity for people to be back in live theatre again and to laugh together, maybe even cry together, to take in a beautiful story told with some really incredible music.”
