Steveston Folk Guild: Earle Peach and Illiteratty
Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site: Chinese Bunkhouse
5180 Westwater Drive
We are proud to welcome Illiteratty back to SFG again. Last years concert was very memoreable. The band plays a wide range of musical styles, such as original swing, European cabaret, celtic, rockabilly, and off course folk. The full compliment of guitar, mandolin, violin, standup base, and small percussion allows for music which is compassionate, funny, angry, idiosyncratic, original and extremely varied. Well that definitely is a mouthful. Earle has been writing songs since he was 12 years old. He has more self penned songs in his arsenal than the band can perform in one show, so expect a great time with foot tapping, hand clapping, and moments that will become memories.

Wildwoman
2026-03-26 - 2026-04-04 | Gateway Theatre, 6500 Gilbert Road, Richmond, BC, V7C 3V4, Canada
March 26 – April 4
Wildwoman
Gateway Theatre
6500 Gilbert Road
A Gateway Theatre and Alberta Theatre Projects Production. A seductively funny, daring twist on regal history. In Wildwoman, we follow the story of Catherine de Medici, the young, newlywed of King Henry II of France, who thinks her life at court will be a fascinating forum of political discourse. Instead, the palace is a cruel and disturbing place where her singular function is to be a baby-making machine for male heirs. Even the other women at her side, a scheming lady-in-waiting and the king’s power-hungry mistress, seem to mostly fend for themselves. The only kinship she finds is with the paperback-romance hot, head-to-toe hair wildman kept in the dungeon as one of the king’s collection of caged oddities. His friendly and feral presence gradually awakens Catherine’s own wild side, and once she unleashes it, no one is safe from her vengeful wrath.
