Tickets $15

 

 

 

 

The Nicholoadians Theatrical Society (TNTS), a not-for-profit theatre group, is presenting Godspell, a high-energy rock musical based on the Gospel of Matthew, and is full of songs, laughter, and stories. With well-known songs like "Day By Day", and toe-tappers like "All For the Best", Godspell appeals to people of all ages and interests.

Immediately following the Saturday evening performance, Canadian sensation, Bobby Curtola, will be bestowed the "The Prince Phillip Humanitarian Award" for his countless and enduring acts of humanitarianism.

Bobby Curtola first hit the pop charts in 1962, with hits including Indian Giver, Three Rows Over, Fortune Teller, and Hitchhiker. While his success on the Canadian charts has grown, Curtola remains selfless and humble, as proven by his tireless charity work for muscular dystrophy and service clubs across Canada. Curtola was appointed to the Order of Canada in October 1997, and will once again be honored for his benevolence on Saturday, August 17th with the "Prince Philip Humanitarianism Award".

Liverpool - Perfect for Retirees & Semi-retirees

Liverpool's laid back lifestyle is attracting more and more residents 'from away' with new cultures and languages blending with those of the long term residents that can be traced back many generations. It is a community unmarked by factories offering organic farms and traditions of yesteryear that blends with the new. It is a part of Nova Scotia where countless home based businesses support the community.

Liverpool lies in the heart of a community where there are lakes abound - where early morning fog drifts over the warm water, where the Atlantic laps the shore in a loving caress, where the setting sun casts long shadows on beaches where the only footprints are one's own, where it is easy to get drawn into the peace and tranquility and where the cares of the world are far, far away.
