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 "Frost/Nixon"
October 21, 2008
- November 16, 2008
Frost/Nixon by Peter Morgan.
When a disgraced American President and a playboy British talk show host sit down for a series of televised interviews the world is watching. But what the skilled reporter elicits is unexpected- and history is made.
From the writer of acclaimed films such as The Queen and The Last King of Scotland, comes Frost/Nixon, an engrossing tale of the pivotal 1977 discussions between Richard Nixon and David Frost. This Tony Award-winning Broadway hit masterfully recreates the events leading up to Nixon's monumental admission of remorse.

The Tennesse Three LIVE in Concert**Cancelled**
November 13, 2008
The Tennessee Three: The Sound Behind Johnny Cash From his early stardom until his last years as a performer, Johnny Cash chose only to work with one band and depended upon them to provide him with the unique sound that would come to be recognized by millions of fans over the world. Bob Wootton provided the unique "boom-chicka-boom" guitar that classifies most of Johnny's songs. The music of The Tennessee Three is as important to the sound and successes of Johnny Cash as his own voice. In 2006 the group released a new album titled "The Sound Must Go On" and began touring the world again with initial stops across America and Canada.
