**LINDSAY KYTE HAS BEEN COMMISSIONED TO WRITE A SHOW ABOUT RITA MACNEIL FOR THE CHARLOTTETOWN FESTIVAL FOR SUMMER 2020!**
Working with Wade Langham, Rita MacNeil's son, Lindsay is creating DEAR RITA — a musical love letter to Cape Breton’s own Rita MacNeil. Featuring traditional and new, reimagined arrangements of Rita’s songs — from her popular hits to the lesser-known songs that made her bandmates cry like babies — DEAR RITA weaves Rita’s lyrics into new perspectives and invites her spirit into the room as her songs live through our own experiences. Cape Breton playwright Lindsay Kyte teams up with award-winning composer/musician Mike Ross to create DEAR RITA, to premiere in Summer 2020 at the Charlottetown Festival, the home of musical theatre in Atlantic Canada.
