My third and final post regarding unique spring 2025 magical offerings at The Burlington Performing Arts Centre. It’s great to see so much variety art scheduled so I’ve done my wee part with a post for each over the last few weeks.

Carissa Hendrix had been paying her dues for years as a variety performer out west but really came into her own with the character Lucy Darling. Lucy looks and talks like a glamorous old school Hollywood movie star but brings the quick wit, improvisational and magical skills plus comedy chops of a seasoned performer along for the ride.

I don’t know Carissa personally but worked a festival with her back in 2019 and her Lucy character, then already well established, has grown ever more fully formed and nuanced.

Her current show, Lucy Darling, comes to the BPAC on Wednesday April 23rd 2025 at 7:30 pm It’s worthy of your consideration. Visit BPAC for full info.
