The Pride & Prejudice Ball ~ Winnipeg (2020) · Hosted by Lady Jane Productions

Live in History, and imagine yourself transported to Regency England, circa 1815.  It's the world of Jane Austen, where Mr. Darcy and Miss Elizabeth Bennett are dancing by candlelight at the Netherfield Ball, where military heroes such as the Duke of Wellington have returned triumphant from the Napoleonic War, where there is dancing to live music, and where a frothy cup of syllabub is yours to sip, surrounded by the sight of elegant, bejewelled ladies and dashing gentlemen ... all without the use of a time machine.

New for 2020:  a light, pre-Ball Dinner  (5:00-6:15 pm)
Enjoy a Regency era-inspired, light dinner of Regency White Soup, the Fort Garry's famous bread, Regency Greens (salad), and beautiful Beef Stew.  
A Vegetarian meal of Mulligatawny Soup with a Vegetable tart is an option.  

No partner is necessary and no dance experience required. A dance partner is easily acquired, as it was commonplace in this period for people to dance with different partners.

Bring Your Own Mic' Online Concert Series, featuring Leonard Sumner

The West End Cultural Centre announces a new concert series called ‘Bring Your Own Mic’. This ticketed, livestream concert series will present the best music from Manitoba's WECC stage for our audiences to watch online through an accessible $2 paywall and streamed on Vimeo. The funds will go to artists. Each concert will be produced by the the West End’s skilled technicians.

Safety is one of our main priorities. We are ensuring performers arrive to a clean and already set up stage (and yes, we are asking them to bring their own microphones). 

Anishinaabe MC/Singer/Songwriter Leonard Sumner's sound is evidence of his ability to occupy landscapes of multiple musical genres: Hip-Hop, Spoken Word, Country, and Rhythm and Blues. In this era of unsettling history and healing wounds of the past, Sumner's music is an expression of medicine that walks the line between fortitude and fragility.
