The Curious Garden
THE CHOICE IS YOURS
Every dollar raised supports Sassafras & Co.’s summer production. But After Dark is not just about raising funds—it is about raising the stakes. About stepping into something deeper, something wilder, something unforgettable.
You can choose the night that speaks to you. You can choose them all. But remember this: once the night is gone, it is gone forever.
The doors open. The lights dim. The music starts.
Step inside. Before it’s too late.

The Curious Garden
Sept 18th, 2026
Inside The Velvet Wonderland
​
Some gardens bloom in the daylight.
​
Others come alive when the sun goes down.
​
Welcome to The Curious Garden, a lush and enchanting evening where music, movement, and mystery grow in every corner of the room.
​
Inspired by Wonderland’s talking flowers and whimsical landscapes, this After Dark experience invites guests to wander through a night filled with beautiful performances and unexpected encounters.
​
Kelowna’s most captivating vocalists fill the space with rich melodies and stirring storytelling, while playful moments blossom throughout the evening.
​
Something may be happening in every corner.
A performance may appear beside you.
A game may unfold when you least expect it.
​
The room itself becomes part of the experience—alive with colour, curiosity, and quiet surprises waiting to be discovered.
​
When you’re ready to pause and soak in the atmosphere, step over to the Drink Me Bar, where curious refreshments await to keep the evening flowing as the garden continues to bloom around you.
​
This is a place where wonder grows easily, where laughter drifts through the room like perfume, and where every moment feels just a little enchanted.
​
Because in this garden…​
We may be mad here, but we know how to throw a party.
​
You will receive an email the day of the cabaret with details about the night—and if you’d like to dress on theme, we absolutely encourage it.

SING IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT
The Broadway Sing-Along Finale
When the clock creeps toward "I'm Late", the night gathers everyone together for one final burst of musical madness.
​
Introducing Sing It Like You Mean It—our Broadway sing-along led by the King of Hearts himself, Alex MacArthur.
​
Beloved show tunes, big choruses, and unapologetic theatrical joy fill the room as the audience becomes the cast. Whether you’re belting at the top of your lungs or laughing with a beevy in hand, this is your moment to let the music take over.
​
It’s loud. It’s joyful. It’s gloriously unhinged.
Because in Wonderland, everyone gets a song.
