JUNO Award-winning percussionist and composer lage Diouf sits at the crossroads of pop, world, blues, folk, and asiko (West African rhythms). His trademark sound is upbeat and festive, perfectly complimenting his hopeful and adventurous lyrics, often sung in his mother tongue, Wolof. lage's performances are electrifying, blending elements of African folk, reggae, jazz, and blues into a mesmerizing tapestry of sound.

HYPROV- Friday, Nov. 15, 7:30 p.m.
Canada's master improviser Colin Mochrie and hypnotist extraordinaire Asad Mecci return to the Playhouse with their spontaneous and imaginative show, Hyprov! Audience members volunteer to be hypnotized by Mecci, then remain on stage to participate in an improv scene with Mochrie. The show combines hypnosis and improv.
