🌸LOCAL SINGERS… THIS IS YOUR MOMENT! 🌸

If you’ve been around these parts for a while, you probably already know Valley Vocal Arts (since 2003) and Melina Schein & Big Apple Productions(since 2010)...

And if you’ve ever thought:
“I wish I had the courage to sing…”
“I used to sing and miss it…”
“I want something creative and exciting in my life again…”

This is your window.

A few spots have opened up in my Spring Valley Vocal Arts semester (April–June), and this is one of the rare times I’m able to welcome new singers into this long-running group.

Let's be clear:
-This is not intimidating.
-This is not competitive.
-This is not just for “trained” singers.

This is a room full of adults who:

✨ love music

✨ want to improve their voices

✨ want to feel more confident

✨ want a sense of community

✨ and want to actually ENJOY singing again!

Some have never performed before.
Some have decades of experience.
Everyone belongs.

Each week we:

🎶 Warm up together

🎶 Work on songs you genuinely LOVE

🎶 Learn technique in a practical, supportive way

🎶 And (when you’re ready) sing in a safe, encouraging space

And at the end…

✨ we celebrate with a fun, low-pressure Cabaret Night performance ✨ (we do lots of other types of shows throughout the year as well, but for this semester, it's a glorious, all-out Cabaret eve!)

if this has been in the back of your mind for YEARS… don’t ignore it this time. Spots are very limited, so if you’re even a little curious, send me an email and I’ll fill you in. [email protected]

Come sing. You might just surprise yourself! 💛

You guys…I am SO ridiculously proud I can barely contain myself.

My son Justin Moore (yes, that Justin) who has quietly (and not so quietly 😏) built himself into a viral vocal chameleon with 2 MILLION followers across his platforms, has just launched something HUGE.

🎤 🎶 The Vocal Lab is officially OPEN.

I don’t say this lightly: This is YEARS of dedication, experimentation, trial-and-error, and real-world experience poured into one place.

If you have EVER:
– Thought your voice “isn’t good enough”
– Wanted to sound like your favourite artists
– Felt stuck, confused, or overly “trained out” of your natural voice
– Or secretly dreamed of singing freely and confidently…

This is for you.

Justin has created a space where he’s teaching everything and bringing in the experts too: the techniques, mimicry skills, recording tricks, social media strategies and mindset shifts that made him who he is today.

And here’s where it gets extra fun…

👀 I’M IN THERE TOO. Hehe!

Yep, I’ll be doing vocal reviews and foundational training inside the Lab…all the work I’ve done with Valley Vocal Arts and Melina Schein & Big Apple Productions for almost 3 decades now!!

Inside you get:
– Vocal reviews (yes, of YOU)
– Live Q&As with us
– Technique breakdowns
– Behind-the-scenes training
– Fundamentals with me
– Even marketing + career insight

The extra cool part is that Justin is offering a one-time founding member price for the first 50 members, and once those spots are gone…that price is gone forever.

This is one of those “you’ll wish you got in early” things. I mean that. The plan is to grow this into one of the biggest online voice communities in the world.

So if you’re one of my singers, my people, my curious lurkers…or someone who’s been waiting for a sign to SING???👇 This is it.

Come join us inside the Vocal Lab. Let’s build your voice properly and powerfully. Whatever your current goals are, skill level, passion…we will meet you there.

Something BIG is coming…🎭

In the months since our Rocky Horror Reunion Show, ideas have been brewing: behind the scenes conversations, collaborations, dreaming, planning…all leading to a musical announcement I cannot wait to share with you.

This will be a first for Big Apple, and a first for the North Okanagan!

Bold. Ambitious. Community-driven. Electrifying. The kind of project that brings people together and reminds us why live musical theatre matters so much.

Performers, audiences, creatives, and supporters: you are going to want to be part of this.

Stay tuned. The official announcement is coming very soon. And trust me…it will be worth the wait!

If your idea of the perfect holiday concert includes:
✨ a little jazz,
✨ a little nostalgia,
✨ a little rebellion,
✨ and absolutely zero “Silent Night”…

…then allow us to introduce you to your new favourite December tradition.

“NOT-SO-SILENT NIGHT” brings together the incredible singers of Valley Vocal Arts for an evening of grown-up holiday magic…the kind that gives you goosebumps and makes you laugh, sometimes in the same breath.

📅 Saturday, Dec. 20th, 7pm
📍 All Saints Anglican Church, Vernon
🎟 Admission by donation

Bring your friends. Bring your festive spirit. Bring the person who insists they “don’t like Christmas concerts.”

We will fix them.

BREAKING: Soprano diva and jazz crooner enter dramatic power struggle at the piano. Casualties include several eighth notes, a mic stand, and one innocent pedal.

On May 1st, they take it to the stage - with a 16-piece big band, a mountain of Broadway hits, and just enough glam to make the ghost of Sinatra raise an eyebrow.

Broadway Lights, Vegas Nights isn’t just a show.
It’s a musical showdown.
A battle of belt vs. bebop.
And yes - there will be sequins.

Choose your fighter. Buy your ticket. Brace for impact. Who will win? Who will modulate unnecessarily?

Only one night. No refunds for jazz-induced whiplash.

Just two empassioned musicians, one enormous big band, and zero consensus on who’s in charge.

Here’s a tiny taste of the controlled chaos that is Broadway Lights, Vegas Nights - coming to the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre May 1st!

Expect belting, crooning, banter, brass, sequins, sarcasm, and enough showbiz to short-circuit a spotlight.

One night only. One giant band. One jazz guy. One theatrical menace. (Again—we’ll let you guess who’s who.)

The “MONDAY AFTER”….and I honestly feel like I’ve aged 50 years in the last 5 months…

…but it was worth it. I’m so extraordinarily proud of the community we brought together to celebrate inclusivity in our town. All told, our cast and crew were 85 strong, and I believe that everyone who came through our theatre to witness our little spectacle left changed in some way. That’s what good theatre is all about. It illuminates our common humanity. It's a place where stories come alive, challenging us, inspiring us, and bringing us together in ways nothing else can.

It couldn't have happened without YOU! From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who came out to support us. Your energy, applause, and unwavering belief in the power of our creation are what make shows like this one unforgettable.

Producing and directing theatre is a labor of love, filled with countless hours, hard work, and, yes, plenty of risks. But the reward is seeing our community unite, feeling the heartbeat of the audience, and witnessing the transformative power of a story well told - through song, dance, the spoken word.

That’s worth a few more gray hairs, indeed.

Long live live theatre. 🎭🎶
