The Music of Your Life​

The Music of Your Life is a joyful, 45-minute theatrical performance inspired by the 100+ year legacy of VOWR radio — a station beloved across Newfoundland and Labrador. Blending fictional storytelling with true memories, familiar songs, and heartwarming humour, the show honours the voices and music that shaped generations.

​

What makes this show different?

This performance is designed especially with older adults in mind — including those living in care homes or retirement settings — but it's a meaningful experience for people of all ages. Whether you're a lifelong VOWR listener or hearing these tunes for the first time, you're invited to sing along, tap your toes, and share in the joy.

​

To extend the experience beyond the performance, we provide optional pre- and post-show activities that encourage memory-sharing, creativity, and connection long after the final note.

​

After the show, our actors stay to chat with audience members, creating personal moments of engagement and reflection. All performers are professional actors who have completed our Arts and Aging Approach training, including dementia sensitivity and engagement strategies, ensuring the experience is not only joyful, but also inclusive and thoughtful.

Booking and Accessibility 

This project is made possible through funding from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation, with a focus on increasing access to arts experiences for residents of long-term care and personal care homes.

​

We understand that budgets vary across facilities. When you fill out our booking form, you’ll see a question about the cost. We will provide the standard value of the performance, but we leave it to each home to let us know what they are able to contribute. Any remaining costs are eligible to be subsidized through this grant funding.

​

If your home does not currently have a budget for performances, we kindly ask that you consider collecting donations when possible to help support future programming. Our goal is to ensure that all of our shows and creative experiences remain accessible to everyone, regardless of budget.

 

When a home is able to cover the full cost of a program, we do our best to offer complimentary or subsidized performances in the future — as a way to give back and ensure continued access to the arts.

For public performances, attendance will be by donation, unless otherwise stated.
