A NEW AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL journey BY EDMONTON LEGEND, darrin hagen
The WORLD PREMIERE of an autobiographical origin-story by award-winning Edmonton playwright/performer/historian Darrin Hagen. Metronome is about falling in love with music, and the very special Ennis & Sons piano which changed Darrin’s life. From growing up queer in small town Alberta, through his move to the ‘big city’, the play follows Darrin’s journey through discovery, loss, and heartbreak as he recounts the story one of the most beautiful and influential loves of his life: his piano. This brand-new, home-grown work by an Edmonton tour-de-force affirms the importance and power of music and storytelling to unite and transform us, making it an ideal antidote to the trials of all things pandemic.

AFA News In spring , the AFA began accepting community nominations to identify 25 Influential Alberta Artists from the past 25 years who have significantly impacted their communities, influenced the development of art and artistic practice in our province, and inspired others to do the same. Hundreds of nominations poured sheer number and quality of nominations we received illustrated the depth and wealth of talent our province contains. So the selection process wasn’t an easy one. At all. However, guided by values of inclusivity and diversity of community representation the AFA selected 25 artists who have built artistic practices that influence and inspire. Each of these artists will receive an extended profile in the news feed of the AFA’s website, published weekly starting in November. Moreover, each artist will select a protégé or emerging artist who will receive an AFA Young Artist Prize, worth $2, each. These young artists will receive their awards in and be revealed weekly in each Influential Artist’s extended profile. Through the AFA Young Artist Prizes, our hope is for our Influential Alberta Artists to help guide
John Reid began his coming out process in Edmonton, but it was during travels to larger gay metros that he fell in love with the idea of gay nightclubs. As a result, it was only natural that, once he was ready to participate in Edmonton’s LGBTQ2 community, he headed to the only official gay bar in town, Club Ironically, John was refused entry to the private member’s club because no one knew him, and therefore no one could vouch for him being gay. Eventually, he was allowed entry into Club 70 and began his long tenure as a prominent member of Edmonton’s early LGBTQ2 community. As a patron of Club 70, John was constantly lamenting the lack of a real dance floor and sound booth. The only sound system was a jukebox, and so the music depended on the whim of the customers who arrived in the afternoon—and, if they had enough quarters, they could plug the machine and dictate the music that would be played for hours, which drove John crazy!
