The season kicks off on Saturday, Sept. 24 with Live at the Bolt: A Jazzy Evening, featuring the Grant Stewart Trio – Grant Stewart on tenor sax, with bassist Paul Sikivie and drummer Phil Stewart - with guests including singer Jaclyn Guillou, guitarist Bill Coon and saxophonist Cory Weeds. The 8 p.m. show costs $18.

On Sunday, Oct. 9, the opera season gets underway, as Burnaby Lyric Opera presents the first Opera on a Sunday Afternoon concert of the year.
The dance season gets underway on Wednesday, Oct. 19, with a world premiere of I Care What You Think, presented by the Contingency Plan Dance Collective and the Plastic Orchid Factory, featuring Vanessa Goodman, Jane Osborne and James Gnam. It runs Oct. 19 to 22, with 8 p.m. shows nightly.
Theatre lovers can once again choose from a series of independent theatre performance or the Arts Club on Tour series. The Independents series kicks off Nov. 2 and 3 with Jake’s Gift, an award-winning drama that tells the story of a Canadian Second World War veteran’s reluctant return to Normandy and his encounter with a precocious 10-year-old from the local village.
The Arts Club On Tour series opens Nov. 7 and 8 with Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery.
