The Firehall Arts Centre’s Music in the Courtyard series continues this week with Made in Canada: An Agricultural Song Cycle. The agricultural operetta tackles some of the largest issues faced by temporary foreign workers in B.C. and across the country (there’s more on that in our interview with director Pedro Chamale). The songs are rich with mariachi influences and likely the most fun you’ll have while learning this week.
