The Return of Island Girls, with a brand new show!

CAPE BRETON, N.S. — The Island Girls are back! After a highly successful debut in 2018, followed by an encore performance and tour in 2019, the Island Girls are together again with a brand new show. This time, the Savoy Theatre wants to deliver it right into your living room.

ISLAND GIRLS Music and Comedy features the talents of four of Cape Breton Island’s busiest performers: Bette MacDonald, Heather Rankin, Lucy MacNeil and Jenn Sheppard. They are backed by seasoned musicians Stephen Muise, Fred Lavery, Brian Talbot, Em Dingwall and Colin Grant.

Crediting the show as the “perfect pick-me-up”, Savoy Theatre Manager, Pam Leader says it’s an announcement the Savoy is happy to share, “People have been waiting for this show to come back and so we’ve been planning and rearranging it for months, due to restrictions. But we're finally putting the Island Girls back onto our Savoy stage and we’ll be streaming them into homes. No matter where you live or what your current restrictions are, you'll be able to enjoy the show by purchasing a link.”

Working with Nova Stream Productions, the company that successfully streamed the Savoy’s 2020 Christmas performances to viewers when the pandemic forced the theatre to close, the Island Girls are ready to combine their talents and personalities to deliver some of your favourite songs, original compositions, tributes, touching stories and belly-laughs; all with a uniquely Cape Breton twist. 

“Obviously, we want to safely host live audiences again, but until we can make that workable, streaming ensures that we are utilizing and showcasing our incredible facility, putting Savoy staff to work, hiring local businesses and providing a high-quality performance for all to enjoy,” says Leader.

Stephen Muise, the show’s creator and director, recognized the potential of combining the strengths of these particular performers, “These women each represent something different about the entertainment industry in Cape Breton, so the show is non-stop fun, just bursting with energy and awesome music. They fit so well together, you might think they were sisters,” says Muise.
