Halifax vs Louisbourg: The Final Siege Exhibit
July 01, 2008
- November 02, 2008
On May 29, 1758, the largest fleet of ships ever to set sail from Halifax left the harbour and headed north. This British armada, comprised of 150 ships carrying over 27,000 men, was bound for the French Fortress of Louisbourg to lay siege. The campaign lasted two months before British forces achieved their first major victory of the Seven Years War, a victory that would change the world, and Halifax forever.

AGNS Exhibit: "They're Changing Guard at Halifax Citadel ..."
July 31, 2008
- January 11, 2009
"They're Changing Guard at Halifax Citadel ...a soldier's life is terribly hard" exhibit will be on display at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
Soldiers no longer march on the Grand Parade, but the daily firing of the noon-day gun at the Citadel reminds us that for over 150 years we were a garrison town. Along side the Artillery and the Engineers, almost every British infantry regiment saw service in Halifax at some point over the years: from the 1st Royal Scots in 1756 to the 104th Regiment of Foot (the New Brunswick Fencibles) in 1814, from Hopson's Regiment (which became the 29th Worcestershire) in 1749 to the Royal Engineers (the last to leave) in 1906; from Genadiers of the 40th wearing exotic mitre caps in 1749 to the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry wearing almost modern uniform in 1899.

Neptune Theatre presents "The Devil's Disciple"
September 16, 2008
- October 12, 2008
The Devil's Disciple by George Bernard Shaw.
George Bernard Shaw loved to play devil's advocate. And it was never more apparent than in this early comedy that provides a defense for a rascally drinker who announces in a Puritan New Hampshire household that he's at the service of Lucifer.
Against the backdrop of the American Revolution, will anyone be able to save this poor soul from the gallows? Former Shaw Festival Artistic Director Christopher Newton brings his legendary directing skills to this timeless Shaw classic.
