The Only Planet Cabaret - where denial meets hope, despair meets wonder, and complacency meets commitment. Where Edith Piaf meets David Suzuki and Stan Rogers meets the Kinder-Morgan pipeline.

It's been 45 years since the first Earth Day and the oceans are more acidic than ever, more species have gone extinct, and carbon levels in the atmosphere have soared above 400 parts per million. Time to unleash the power of Poetry, Storytelling and Song! In a style all their own, five Salt Spring Island writers, performers, musicians and activists collaborate to present the most pressing environmental issues of our times and serves them up in a unique performance that's funny and thought-provoking, entertaining and stimulating, moving and inspiring.

You’ll find yourself on a journey full of questions where the only answers are the ones you discover for yourself. The Cabaret combines original material with rewritten and repurposed show tunes, folk songs and rock 'n' roll to raise spirits and encourage engagement with the many challenges we face. Its creative approach to environmental crises opens up space for our unspoken fears and doubts, hopes and inner strengths.
