2026-03-09 18:30 - 20:30 (America/Toronto) | Level One Game Pub, 14 Waller Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1N 9C4, Canada
Do you have a surplus of knowledge nuggets from years of playing through various video game sagas?
Is your mind palace filled with what some might (wrongly) deem “inconsequential” details about your favourite television shows and movies?
In social situations, do you find yourself holding back from inundating those around you with facts and tidbits about the movie they’re discussing? Or worse – not holding back?
We can help! Join us for Geek Trivia on Monday nights where your nerdy expertise will be not only appreciated, but celebrated!Each week, Trivia Master Alex sets aside a portion of the evening to focus on a different geeky theme (you can check out upcoming themes on our website). And if a particular week’s theme isn’t your speciality, don’t worry! There will still be a lot of randomized trivial geekiness to enjoy! The exception to this is the last Monday of every month, when all the questions will be on a particular theme. The theme for December 22: The Holidays! (please note there will be no Geek Trivia on December 29)
Book a table for your team at levelonegamepub.com/reservations – be sure to put “Trivia” in the details section. Walk-ins are also welcome.
Cost: free with purchase, $9 without purchase (per person)

Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks;
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
Did you Lizzie? Lizzie did you? Lizzie Borden will not say. Acquitted of the brutal murders of her father and stepmother, for ten years Miss Lizzie has held her tongue. Tonight, will she finally tell the tale?
This riveting psychological murder mystery is based on the true story of Lizzie Borden, who may or may not have killed her own blood relations in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1893. The murder remains unsolved.
Renowned playwright Sharon Pollock is the recipient of the Governor General’s Award for Blood Relations and Doc, the Canada Australian Literary Award, a Japan Foundation Award, the Nellie Drama Award for Sweet Land of Liberty, and a Golden Sheaf Award for her writing for television.

Orpheus Musical Theatre Presents: Jesus Christ Superstar
2026-03-10 19:30 - 22:00, 2026-03-11 19:30 - 22:00, 2026-03-12 19:30 - 22:00, 2026-03-13 19:30 - 22:00 | Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe, 101 Centrepointe Drive, Nepean, Ontario, K2G 5K7, Canada
Jesus Christ Superstar tells the story of biblical Jesus in the final days leading up to his crucifixion. A rock opera, the musical has no spoken dialogue. Superstar focuses on the personal conflicts between Jesus, his disciples, the people of Israel, and the leadership of Rome. Special attention is played to the relationship between Judas Iscariot and Jesus, as well as Jesus’ relationship with Mary Magdalene.
The musical is unique in that it focuses on both Judas’ struggle making the decision to betray Jesus and Jesus’ human psychology, fear, and anger in understanding and accepting his role as both leader and martyr.
The show is a product of its era, permeated with 1970’s rock, gospel, folk and funk themes, modern language and colloquialisms, and high-energy dance numbers.

High Valley – Paradise & Hurricanes Tour
2026-03-10 20:00 - 22:00 | Algonquin Commons Theatre, 1385 Woodroffe Ave, Ottawa, Ontario, K2G 1V8, Canada
Multi-platinum country group High Valley have cultivated a loyal following that craves the band’s upbeat messages, anthemic melodies and signature fusion of contemporary country and traditional bluegrass. The musical blend has resonated with fans in the group’s native Canada and the U.S. with a force that propelled High Valley to be the top-selling Canadian band in country music history. Led by founder, lead singer/songwriter and 7-time SOCAN Country Music Award Winner Brad Rempel, the group has amassed more than half a billion global streams, notched back-to-back gold singles in the U.S., achieved multiple No. 1 songs in Canada, two gold albums and six platinum singles. High Valley has been nominated for ACM, CMT and JUNO Awards and have earned multiple CCMA Awards, with the group’s hits including “Make You Mine,” “She’s With Me” and “Grew Up On That.”

Alan Doyle With special guest The East Pointers
2026-03-10 20:00 - 22:00 | National Arts Centre, 1 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5W1, Canada
Expect the unexpected from Welcome Home, Alan Doyle’s fourth full-length solo studio album and 20th overall. While upholding his status as a perennial merrymaker — a reputation burnished by his years with acclaimed folk-pop combo Great Big Sea — the new album also finds the multifaceted singer-songwriter and 14-time JUNO Award nominee exploring novel sonic terrain. Alongside marquee co-writers Jimmy Rankin, Donovan Woods, and Hollywood actor Oscar Isaac (yep, of Star Wars fame), Doyle presents nine original songs that are both typically buoyant and surprisingly intimate, what Doyle refers to as “the lower and slower: the lower part of my vocal range and the slower songs. I’m letting myself do that for the first time on this record,” which he cut in Montreal with producer-engineer Marcus Paquin.
Doyle’s CV is extensive — he is a thrice-published author, a film and TV actor-producer with multiple major credits, and the co-producer of the recently released, 20-song Ron Hynes tribute album, Sonny Don’t Go Away. Yet the wildly popular musician from Petty Harbour, Newfoundland remains most electrifying before a live audience, abetted by his ace band. “I am the luckiest guy in the world,” Doyle says. “It’s such a privilege to stand among those players on stage.”
The East Pointers
JUNO Award-winners The East Pointers are innovators within the ever-evolving genre of modern folk, crafting a joy-conjuring, dancefloor-shaking, roof-rattling fusion of folk, pop, and dance music. In the studio, six records have captured the furious energy of their live shows, adding to the legacy of East Coast folk while lighting a path for a new generation of music lovers.
Already internationally acknowledged as musical trailblazers, on their newest offering, Schoonertown, The East Pointers have come home. Equal parts origin story and statement of craft, Schoonertown captures the moments that shaped their youth: nights out with the boys, the dizzy romance of first love, sprawling families and small towns, two weeks on in a bleak winter, kitchen parties and vinyl records and tape decks, every mistake, every late night, every long drive, beer and cigarettes and fights, laughing until you can’t breathe, ambition rising like a king tide, the piss and vinegar of youth, the sun emerging so bright over the horizon you have to shield your eyes–the devastation and exhilaration of all of it.
Since their debut album, Secret Victory, took home the 2017 JUNO Award for Traditional Album of the Year, The East Pointers have cemented their place as a defining voice in contemporary folk music. Their music, streamed millions of times over each month, has been featured on television, film, and broadcast, and their acoustic performances on social media have been shared by the likes of Ed Sheeran and Mumford & Sons. They regularly light up stages across Australia, Japan, the UK, Europe, Mexico, New Zealand, the USA, and Canada, and each fall they bring that energy back home to Prince Edward Island, where they host Goolaholla!, a festival celebrating music, community, and the spirit of the East Coast.
