Performance in the Park 2024 Schedule Thursdays 5-6pm FREE Fun for the whole family #douglasparkcc July 4 Kellie Haines Ventriloquist This hilarious show blends musical numbers with fast paced ventriloquism comedy bits, with Magrau the bird and Kamilla the frog! After a brief musical warm-up with Ventriloquist Kellie, the audience meets Magrau the bird, who is a little hungry and full of surprises. He and Kellie take a series of comic detours – like a mangled rendition of the Itsy-Bitsy Spider song to a cupcake caper. Next, we meet Kamilla the frog, a precocious four year-old frog with red hair. When it becomes clear that Kamilla forgot to round up other frogs for her big production number, Kellie invites audience members on stage to help save the show. This heartwarming and funny show has lots of audience participation, catchy songs with colourful puppets! 508786 July 18 Music with Marnie Described as one of the Best Performers of her Generation by the Vancouver International Children’s Festival, Marnie will be sure to captivate your child, and have them moving and grooving to songs from her 4 Award Winning Albums.
