“For those in search of the truly zany, the undisputed king is Al Simmons…A popular, wildly original performer…”
- Maclean’s Magazine

He’s a musician! He’s an inventor! Al Simmons – iconic Manitoba children’s entertainer – presents an all-new show with a special Holiday theme. With his quick wit, lanky legs, flipper like feet and rubber face, it’s as if he was genetically engineered for comedy.

Al Simmons is a creative genius with the soul of a vaudevillian and a wizard of one-liners whose humour touches a responsive chord in people of every age. This Juno Award winner’s act is at once frantic and engagingly simple; it is a tourde-force of ingenious, charming silliness.

PRE-CONCERT ACTIVITIES
Children can participate in musical activities such as crafts, rhythm ensembles and round-singing. They can visit the Conducting Station where they get the chance to conduct a group of musicians or visit the Instrument Petting Zoo for an opportunity to touch and play the orchestral instruments that they will see performed during the Sundays with the Family concerts. Pre-Concert Activities begin at 1:00 p.m.
