Night Kitchen Too – Acoustic musical variety show

Pinnacle Playhouse 256 Pinnacle Street, Belleville, Ontario

Belleville’s very popular acoustic musical variety show, Night Kitchen Too, will wrap up its 10th season, Saturday, December 21, with the usual cross section of musicians and poets from the Quinte Area performing on the Pinnacle Playhouse stage in downtown Belleville. That stage has now hosted about 900 performances since 2014. We will also take a few minutes to celebrate the winter solstice that has been a source of celebration, awe and folklore for centuries. Since long before recorded history, the winter solstice and the subsequent “return” of the sun have inspired celebrations and rituals in various societies around the world. Although December may be synonymous with the arrival of Christmas for many, Christian celebrations coincide with many other major cultural and religious ceremonies around the world. Dates for the first part of the 2025 season are: January 18, March 8, April 26, May 24 and June 28. Further dates will be announced on the NKT FB page. Tickets are still $10 and always available at the theatre box office when the doors open at 7:00pm; show is at 7:30pm. If you are a musician or spoken word artist and would like to perform, please contact Alex Bell . Other inquiries: Gary Magwood: 613 849 1976; lattalad@gmail.com or Marvin Tucker: 613 243 9758; marvintucker66@gmail.com.
