Hailed as a runaway theatrical hit with a solid track record of 120 full house performances, Searching for Abegweit: The Island Songs & Stories of Lennie Gallant is a musical love letter to Prince Edward Island.

This dynamic, energetic show is storytelling at its best and includes Acadian and Celtic numbers that will have you dancing in your seat in celebration of Canada’s cradle on the waves. The colourful spectacle will offer Lennie Gallant favourites such as ‘Peter’s Dream’ ‘Tales of the Phantom Ship’ and ‘Island Clay’ along with new Island-themed songs.
