Derived from the Michif word for “leftovers stew” or “big pot,” Rubaboo will take audiences on an intimate, moving, and joyous musical journey – guided by powerhouse, Métis performer, Andrea Menard. An award-winning singer-songwriter and actor, Andrea’s lyrical voice and masterful story telling will envelop you into the beauty of Métis culture. Featuring the sounds of drums and guitar, this grand musical feast will include songs of reconciliation, unity, love, frustration, and resilience.

“This show is an incredible evening of storytelling and music with a powerhouse performer. A celebrated actor and musician, Andrea has created an exquisite celebration of Metis culture, history, and language that invites audiences on a joyous journey of community and hope for the future.”
– Heather Cant, Artistic Director
