‘The Island Summer Review’ opens Thursday

-

This summer, “The Island Summer Review” is returning to Harmony House with an all-new show.

Heading into its sixth season, the review has become an annual summer tradition and a night to welcome friends and family back home. Comedian Patrick Ledwell and musician Mark Haines are hard at work creating a fresh storytelli­ng set, with up-to-theminute comedy, foot-stomping traditiona­l music and everything Prince Edward Island in between.

For this upcoming season, the show will take a special look at the connection between the Island and its Atlantic Canadian neighbours.

“There’s nothing Islanders like better than hopping over to Moncton or attempting to drive in Halifax,” says co-performer Patrick Ledwell. “This year’s show will have fun seeing the East Coast through a P.E.I. perspectiv­e and finding the strings that pull us closely together.”

And this summer, there’s a new way to see the new show. Harmony House Theatre is partnering with Target Tours Atlantic to offer the Island Summer Review Tour. Target Tours Atlantic will pick up people at Charlottet­own locations, with its certified driver and vehicles, and provide transporta­tion to and from Hunter River.

“We still think Harmony House is a bit of a hidden gem, and this tour will provide visitors and Islanders alike with a new way to discover us,” says theatre coowner Melanie Taylor.

With the tour, sit back and be hosted for the entire show night and enjoy a toast or two in the Harmony House licensed downstairs lounge. Options will be available to accommodat­e different sizes of group.

“We’re really excited about this tour,” says Jacqueline Skinner, operations manager for Target Tours Atlantic. “We love what they’re doing at Harmony House. This is a great way to open that incredible experience to more visitors, especially when they may not already have that Island connection to guide them out.”
