Performers
Kellie Haines
"Laughing Out Loud" Show
Kellie Haines started talking to her puppets at the age of 8, and when they started talking back she knew she had a show. Soon she was performing at fairs and by high school she had a puppet road case that she carted around in the trunk of her father’s car. Now a seasoned ventriloquist, puppeteer and family entertainer, Kellie’s repertoire of shows combine witty repartee with puppet characters everyone can relate to, songs you can dance and sing along to, and engage important themes such as believing in yourself, embracing diversity and celebrating nature.
The Myrtle Sisters
"Same, Same, Different" Show
The Myrtle Sisters, featuring Candice Roberts, Nayana Fielkov, and Kat Single-Dain, are a trio of east Vancouver performers delighting audiences of all ages with their harmonies, twinkling-tap numbers and family antics! They’ve been showcasing a clowning, vaudeville and dance menagerie of musical calamity for over 10 years in a variety of venues. Expect plenty of charm and shenanigans along with their original and historic songs and dances. The music stands on its own, but their onstage family antics, tap stylings and wild tunes are not to be missed.
