Secondary Characters is proud to present Urinetown, the Musical as their Summer 2026 show!

https://www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca/ccc-event/urinetown/2026-07-17/

What IS Urinetown?

In a gritty, Gotham like city suffering through a 20-year drought, a severe water shortage has forced the government to ban private toilets. Everyone must use public facilities controlled by a single corrupt corporation that charges admission for one of life’s most basic needs. When the people have finally had enough, an unlikely hero sparks a rebellion to win back their freedom.

Inspired by the sharp wit of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is a bold, irreverent satire that spares no one. Celebrated for reinventing what a musical can be, it blends outrageous humor, modern edge, and a self-aware theatrical style that keeps audiences laughing from start to finish.

Winner of multiple Tony, Obie, Lucille Lortel, and Outer Critics Circle Awards, Urinetown skewers everything from capitalism and environmental collapse to bureaucracy, populism, and even musical theatre itself. Hilarious, clever, and surprisingly heartfelt, it offers a fresh, incisive look at one of North America’s most iconic art forms.

Little Bits & Assorted Carnage

Métis artist Dan Daulby’s 

Little Bits & Assorted Carnage  brings together drawings,  paintings, prints, sketches, and doodles spanning decades of work. From Medieval  Crusaders to Samurai-inspired imagery, the exhibition explores the creative process itself,  revealing how spontaneous sketches evolve into vivid finished works through imagination, experimentation, and artistic transformation.

Here, ideas slip their leashes—sketches mutate, jokes curdle, and images wander  off into places they were never meant to go.

There is no admission for this exhibition.

Hours: Wednesday to Saturday | 12:00-5:00pm

Open some evenings 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. during performances in the Centre.

If You Could Read My Mind: The Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Show.

“Listen to the band… this is NOT Gordon Lightfoot…. It is John Paul Byrne, singing Gordon Lightfoot! Most people thought this promo was from Gordon Lightfoot live albums.”

Singer-songwriter, artist John Paul Byrne pays tribute to the legendary Gordon Lightfoot in the much-lauded If You Could Read My Mind: The Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Show. Byrne is known for his uncanny ability to channel Lightfoot’s rich baritone and poignant storytelling, an experience that feels like stepping back into the intimate concert halls of the 1970s.

Having captivated audiences across BC and Alberta with sold-out performances, this Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Show has been celebrated for its authenticity and emotional depth, drawing comparisons to Lightfoot’s original performances. One reviewer noted, “Totally stunning, masterful and entertaining! Difficult to come up with enough superlatives to describe it.” From beloved classics like “Beautiful” and “Early Morning Rain” to the evocative ballad “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” Byrne’s performance is a heartfelt homage to one of Canada’s greatest musical icons.

Among the highest praises is a glowing endorsement from Steffan Clements, son of the late Terry Clements, who was Lightfoot’s lead guitarist for over four decades. “You just sang ‘If You Could Read My Mind’ better than anybody I’ve ever heard,” praises Clements.
