FILL YOUR HEART
SEPTEMBER 19–24  For over 60 years, this romantic and
beloved production has been thrilling audiences as they
remember their favourite things. In The Sound of Music,
a woman takes a job as a governess for a large family
with a widowed father while questioning whether or
not she should become a nun. This new production still
features all of the remarkable songs of Rodgers and
Hammerstein’s original show, including “My Favourite
Things” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain.” Whether this is
your first (or sixteenth going on
seventeenth) time seeing the
production, you’ll take pleasure
in filling your heart with the
sound of music! Jubilee
Auditorium, $35–$125; call
1-866-540-7469 or visit

for tickets.
OFF THE SHELF
OCTOBER 12–22  Reading may be a solitary
act, but LitFest: Edmonton’s Nonfiction
Festival pulls you out of your reading chair
by bringing some of the biggest names
in nonfiction to the city. With readings,
panels, and events on food, music, art,
politics, and more, there’s a book and an
event for any interest. Headliners include
the hilarious and unapologetic Scaachi Koul
(pictured)—a writer at BuzzFeed Canada
and author of One Day We’ll All Be Dead and
None of This Will Matter—and Jen Agg, a
Canadian restaurateur and author of I Hear
She’s a Real Bitch. Don’t worry—you don’t
have to read the books beforehand to enjoy
the events, but you’ll definitely want to
take them home after! Various venues; visit
litfestalberta.org for tickets and more event
information.
