HEIST’s fan favourite and critically acclaimed The Princess Show makes its Cape Breton debut on Saturday, August 1st at the Eltuek Arts Centre for a special presentation complete with special guests to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the cherished show. The doors will open at 8pm with a preshow reception. The Princess Show will be performed at 9pm featuring Aaron Collier and Richie Wilcox along with  a mystery special guest. More information can be found at www.liveheist.com.

The Princess Show is HEIST’s original fully lip synched live-action anime drag musical extravaganza. The founders of HEIST (Aaron Colliier & Richie Wilcox) perform as their beloved characters Princess Edward and Abel T. Suckizone in this quest to surmount depression in a dystopian fantasy world. Princess Edward’s battle with her inner demons is made literal in this fable in which a strange and soothing beast kidnaps her lover Abel and holds him in a disconnected trance. Will Princess rise to the challenge of radical self love to save her beloved? As one reviewer put it, “the show is a great, big, visually striking celebration of queer identity and learning to love yourself.”
