Tonight on stage at the Varscona Theatre Daniel Champagne 5:30 pm & 7:30 pm both shows are SOLD OUT!

Canada 🇨🇦 just a few spots left in Regina and Moose Jaw plus the matinee shows added in Victoria, Kelowna, Calgary and Winnipeg then the whole thing is sold out!

No extra dates will be added to the tour. This is it. Final tickets are here: https://danielchampagnemusic.com/canada-2026

I'm excited, nervous, humbled and grateful. Some of these towns have over a thousand folks coming so that's a whole new thing for me.

I'll have the family on board, will be newly married with an energetic 16 month old who will be seeing your country for the first time🌲

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone, for your support on this tour and all of the others that have gone before.

I know you probably get sick of artists rabbiting on about ticket sales so let me just say that it's much nicer seeing all of these sold out signs then the empty rooms I used to play for when I started out in Canada.

Lot's of love, can't wait and see you soon! Daniel

Autumn. 🍁
A comedy - in the spring!

Trapped in a tiny family cottage two sisters go head to head as they make plans to arrange a shotgun wedding. Amid the mounting chaos, the cake, the wine, and the overly attractive gardener, the women will discover surprising new things about life and each other.

Eccentric older sisters, Rose and Kathryn, have never had an easy relationship. Now they must live and work together to urgently organize a wedding. As optimistic Rose embraces her later years, wealthy Kathryn battles over her most recent divorce. Amid the mounting chaos, the cake, the wine, and the overly attractive gardener, the women will discover surprising new things about life and each other.

"This is a light-hearted and outrageously funny play about sisterhood, growing older, and finding laughter and hope in life of constant challenges", says Artistic Director John Hudson. "It's a great way to end our current season while looking forward to our next one."

Amid the mounting chaos, the cake, the wine, and the overly attractive gardener, the women will discover surprising new things about life and each other.
