Highland Storm, The Gael, was the must-see show of the summer for tourists visiting P.E.I., says the excutive director of the College of Piping & Celtic Performing Arts of Canada.
Kendra MacGillivray may be new to the college, but said she can regonize talent when she sees it.
She has seen, produced and performed in many stage productions over the years.
“I can honestly say I was impressed by what I saw from the past and present students and instructors of the college.”
Located in Summerside, the college has been performing top-notch summer productions for years.
Directed by Stephanie Cadman, Highland Storm is a eclectic brew of Scotish and Irish music. Mix together drummers, pipers, highland dancers and step dancers and you have a celtic stew fit for the queen.
Survey responses were all five-star and numbers for attendance were over 6,000 with sold-out audiences all summer, said MacGillivray.
“The whole show was thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end.”
Debbie Arsenault agrees.
“Highland storm was very well done, the live band was great. Overall, a very professional performance.”
This production does more than entertain, McGillivray said.
“It inspires a whole new generation of musicians, singers and dancers to excel in their celtic studies so one day, they can be a part of a professional celtic stage show too.”
“I'm really looking forward to Highland Storm 2010,” she said.
