A Night at the Palace marks its 20th year in 2026. The variety show is vaudeville- and burlesque-themed and includes comedy, live music and dance. It was created to give performers a creative outlet during the winter months. The event has grown into the Hall’s largest yearly fundraiser and this season’s performances sold out quickly.
What to know:
- The show was created by Raechel Drew and Jacie Herbison and began as a seasonal creative project.
- All music at the show is performed live by musicians known as the Palace Band, and acts follow a late-1800s-to-1940s aesthetic with some creative liberty.
- Main acts typically run about five minutes with shorter "olio" performances between acts to keep the program moving.
- Performers volunteer their time and provide or adapt period costumes, with a community costume box available for use.
- This season’s four shows sold out rapidly, and the production relies on roughly 90 volunteers to run each night.
Summary:
The 20th anniversary underscores the show’s role as both a creative outlet and a key fundraiser for the Errington War Memorial Hall. Performances are scheduled for Feb. 20, Feb. 21, Feb. 27 and Feb. 28; organizers have said adding a fifth night has been discussed but is difficult because the production depends on many volunteer commitments.
