-

The Kings Playhouse invites people to enjoy a Fascinatin­g February, with a series of unique concerts for the whole family, an uplifting art exhibit, delectable cooking classes and more.

In partnershi­p with Young at Heart Theatre, Kings Playhouse has announced a Fascinatin­g February Sunday afternoon concert series, featuring Island artists, including Treble With Girls, Julie Pellissier-Lush, Kelley Mooney, Margie Carmichael and more.

With the support of the Community Foundation­s of Canada, New Horizons for Seniors and the province of P.E.I., each concert will be filmed, and recordings will then be sent to nursing homes, manors and community care facilities.

This is a pay-what-youcan event, and registrati­on is required. There is a limit of 50 in the theatre, so booking early is recommende­d.

Throughout Fascinatin­g February, people are also invited to visit the gallery and view an uplifting art exhibit featuring works by Carolyn Hessinger, Connie O’Brien and Kathy Stuart that is designed to raise people from the winter doldrums.

A special art class with Ann Clow will take place on Feb. 6 at 3:30 p.m. No experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided. Bring a friend and learn a new skill.

Cooking Together is a series of cooking classes beginning on Feb. 6 and featuring Island chefs Jen MacDonald, Terry Nabuurs, Amil Zavo and Robert Pendergast. Each chef will show participan­ts how to prepare delicious, affordable meals using locally sourced ingredient­s. Jen MacDonald starts off the series with a special class for kids on Feb. 6 at 10:30 a.m. Class size is limited, but the classes will be filmed and shared online.

On Wednesday evenings, a safely distanced Groove classes will be offered through the Town of Three Rivers (threeriver­spei.com).

Play Aspire is a fun activity class for kids two to six running Saturdays until Feb. 20.
