ESTEVAN — The Orpheum Theatre was packed on Feb. 17 for Saskatchewan musician Jack Semple's tribute concert to Canadian music icon Gordon Lightfoot.
Semple and a band played many of Lightfoot's most popular songs to the delight of the fans. Lightfoot, a famed Canadian musician and songwriter, died last year at the age of 84.
Estevan musicians Daniel Espelien and his son Mavrik served as the opening act and drew large applause, especially for Mavrik's drum solo.
The next marquee event at the Orpheum Theatre will be the Saskatchewan debut of the movie Mother of All Shows. The film will be shown for a matinee on March 10 at 2 p.m. Star Melissa D'Agostino and co-director Matt Campagna will be attending to introduce the film and answer questions afterwards. The Orpheum will be part of a nationwide road show for the movie.
The movie also stars Wendie Malick, known for her roles in Just Shoot Me, Shrinking, Hot in Cleveland, Young Sheldon and more.
Mother of All Shows tells the story of Liza (D'Agostino), who is trying to cope with the impending death of her estranged mother Rosa (Malick). She creates a 1970s-style variety show in her mind in which the all-powerful host is her mother, who leads a cast of people from Liza's past and present.
