She Talks Muskoka
2019-09-13 19:30 (America/Toronto) | Algonquin Theatre, 37 Main St E,, Huntsville, Ontario, P1H 1A1, Canada
Six remarkable women.
Six courageous stories.
Three years ago, our sister organization, YWCA Cambridge turned up the volume on women’s voices. They brought together a group of women from different backgrounds to share stories about their successes, their challenges and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. Stories of tenacity and grit.
They called it She Talks.
Now, for the very first time, YWCA Muskoka is thrilled and honoured to present She Talks Muskoka.

The Tapestry show performs all the music from the ‘Tapestry’ album, and also features many songs that Carole King and her husband, Gerry Goffin, wrote in the 1960’s. They proved to be one of the most successful song writing teams in pop music history, composing more than 400 songs recorded by over 1,000 artists, including: The Drifters, The Beatles, Donnie Osmond, Aretha Franklin, and the list goes on.
Impeccable attention to detail is taken in recreating a respectful, and accurate full musical presentation with full band, completely live. Suzanne O Davis’ performance takes you on a journey back to those great recordings with stories about the music, history of Carole King’s incredible career, and a fun, sing-a-long, audience interactive performance.
This evening will also be in support of Meaghan’s Walk.
