6th HAT-a-Versary Telethon Spectacular
July 19th from 5-9pm
UPDATE: Telethon Lineup Announced
Headliners include such musical acts as The Barra MacNeils, The Ashbys, Jordan Musyscyn, Joella Foulds, and Emma Stevens who became a YouTube sensation when her Mi’kmaq language interpretation of the song “Blackbird” went viral.
Cape Breton comedy royalty Bette MacDonald, Maynard Morrison, and Ed MacDonald – of Cape Breton Summertime Revue fame – will all make an appearance, as well as more recent comedy duo Tracey and Martina.
A segment of the telethon will pay homage to the 100th Anniversary of the Sydney Rotary Club, which was scheduled for a major celebration in June before all events were postponed for health restrictions.
A host of favorite HAT performers will pay tribute to the HAT’s 6 years of shows, as well as the legacy of the Rotary Show, including: Heather Kerr, Katherine Woodford, Mackenzie Sechi, Ciarán MacGillivray, Michelle Stephens, Matt Earhart, Holley Gillis, Cynthia Vokey, and many more.
Viewers will also get a sneak preview of the two live performances scheduled to re-open the HAT this coming August: the internationally-award-winning one-person-show “House”, written and starring Daniel MacIvor, as well as a two-person Broadway musical called “John and Jen”, which features Emily O’Leary and Kevin Munroe – two local rising stars.
