Jeff Parry Promotions & Greatest Albums Live Present
THE PINK FLOYD EXPERIENCE
Performing Dark Side of the Moon & Greatest Hits
TWO ALBUMS // ONE NIGHT // NOTE FOR NOTE
Jeff Parry Promotions and Greatest Albums Live (GAL) are back with their next presentation of legendary rock albums brought to life on stage. Following the great reception of Led Zeppelin IV and AC/DC’s Back in Black, GAL brings you an all new show featuring the talents of The Pink Floyd Experience.
GAL will tackle their eighth studio album, Dark Side of the Moon, released on 1 March 1973. It built on ideas explored in Pink Floyd’s earlier recordings and performances. In addition to Dark Side of the Moon, all of Pink Floyd’s greatest hits are performed live, including favorites like ‘Have a Cigar’, ‘Learning To Fly’, ‘Comfortable Numb’, ‘Run Like Hell’ and many rarities not often heard live. Without question, Pink Floyd remains one of the most influential rock bands of all time.
You memorized the records, you know the songs, now experience them in this unique concert experience LIVE… ONE NIGHT, FRONT TO BACK from our world-class band. Led by PFX’s frontman Tom Quinn, along with six outstanding musicians, PFX’s heartfelt and passionate recreation of Dark Side of the Moon will not disappoint.
Every note has been poured over with excruciating detail, no riff left un-played, no sound left uncaptured. Celebrate some of the greatest rock and roll songs ever written and don’t miss this unique and unforgettable concert experience!

As part of efforts to be a more accessible space, Confederation Centre of the Arts is pleased to announce that it will be presenting two Relaxed Performances at The Charlottetown Festival this summer.
With the support of the Autism Society of Prince Edward Island, the Centre is working with its Festival production team to make two selected performances of Anne of Green Gables—The Musical™ more accessible.
Sometimes referred to as sensory-friendly experiences, this initiative gives the opportunity for those with various sensitivities towards sensory stimuli to experience and enjoy live theatre. The Centre also recently conducted an accessibility audit, with input from Autism P.E.I. and some of its members.
“Providing relaxed performances is one of the ways Confederation Centre is being more inclusive,” offers Steve Bellamy, CEO of the Centre. “Not everyone experiences visual and auditory stimuli or public spaces the same way. With a few adjustments to the intensity of light, sound, and theatre protocols, we can ensure that even more people have the opportunity to comfortably share in the experience of this iconic story.”
These performances, offered on Monday July 8 and Monday August 19, will be designed in a way to be more comfortable for audience members who may experience anxiety or are not comfortable with some aspects of a traditional theatre setting. This can include: people on the Autism Spectrum and their families; those with sensory and communicative disorders or learning disabilities; people with Tourette’s syndrome; someone who might need to move often due to chronic pain or to use the facilities; or even parents with toddlers.
Patrons will be able to move about the theatre more than usual, as well as leave the theatre at any time should they require a break (and re-enter if they feel ready to do so);
A special ‘calm zone’ will be set up as an option for patrons to head to relax in mid-performance, away from the busy lobby or theatre;
Noises and talking will also be allowed in the house – patrons should not expect a silent audience experience, and;
The use of support technology (tablets and phones) will be relaxed as well.
A special trial run of a relaxed performance will be offered for patrons and patron’s family members to explore if this theatre experience is a good for them. Prospective patrons, family members, or other interested parties can send questions to Sarah Denman-Wood at the Centre, at sdw@confederationcentre.com or (902) 629-1175.
In September, Confederation Centre of the Arts hosted a three day training course in Relaxed Performance, alongside fellow representatives from Autism P.E.I., Neptune Theatre, the Victoria Playhouse, and more. This training session was led by the British Council, the United Kingdom’s international organization for cultural relations and educational opportunities, who has led these sessions for arts centres everywhere.
