Oh Anne! was amazing. The songs, the story, the set, the actors, the directing, the choreography, the lighting, the CCHS theatre were all top notch. The event may be off, off broadway but it was broadway quality. I would highly recommend you go see it!!

We visited the Carter-Ryan Gallery while vacationing in Canmore. We were impressed with the theatre setup. We especially enjoyed meeting the very friendly owners and learning about their work. The artwork in the gallery was beautiful. We would be very happy to go back if we should revisit Canmore.

What a gem in the mountains. We have attended four shows now with them, Oh Anne, Abba, Dolly and now the Beatles. Every show has been so well done and with incredible musicians and actors. So much talent bursting in their small theatre. Plus you get a discount on some very tempting art. You guys rock!
