Lianna Klassen is an award winning, Canadian Christian Celtic/world influenced artist, based out of Montreal, Quebec. A Juno Nominee and CGMA award winner, Lianna has released 7 albums.

She has a skill in gathering sounds and styles from around the world and forging them together into something that is memorable, radiant and inspiring. Early in her ministry and musical journey, God brought her into more of an awareness of the many wonderful and diverse sounds and drumbeats that He has created for His glory in the nations. She began to incorporate this diversity into her writing and musical style. Her 7 recordings are a direct result of this vision with their Celtic and world worship overtones. Her "Song For Canada" has become a treasured prayer for thousands across Canada.

Raised on a farm in the heart of Canada, Leland quickly learned that shovelling manure and weeding potatoes, although lucrative, wasn’t his passion in life. Once out of University, married and with his first child on the way, he chose the most responsible and obvious career...one in the entertainment industry.

Starting off at amateur nights and seedy bars Leland decided right from the beginning that he would remain clean despite what the audiences wanted and over the last 14 years Leland has become recognized as Canada’s premier clean comedian. With his unique intelligence and wit Leland has carved out quite a niche for himself in the world of entertainment. Using his farm boy charm and handsome (although somewhat inbred) Mennonite good looks, Leland’s clever observations and rich life experiences are brought to life in a one of a kind show.

Daniel DeFoe's
Robinson Crusoe
adapted by Jim Helsinger

Shipwrecked on a deserted island following a violent storm, imperialist and explorer Robinson Crusoe experiences a crisis of faith and undergoes a spiritual and emotional transformation. His vision of the world shattered and his sense of entitlement dashed, Crusoe endures twenty-six years of complete isolation, surviving on the ship's supplies and his own ingenuity. When he befriends a Caribe Indian, Crusoe discovers the power of friendship and experiences the value of acceptance in spite of differences.
