SUPPER
THEATRE IS BACK. You're invited
to supper in Killaloe! Tickets are
on sale for Upstream To Basin Depot
by Barry Goldie and Lee LaFont.
This new musical comedy takes place
"back in the lumber" in
the dying days of the square timber
trade, and time of mighty men and
strong women. It will bring back
fond memories of days and people
long gone and give a picture of
the difficult conditions the pioneers
faced. Supper, prepared by Shirley
Yackobeck and the Killaloe Lions,
is served at all regular performances
- Friday and Saturday evenings at
6 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 2
p.m., September 29 - October 29,
excluding Thanksgiving weekend.
Book now for a great show, great
eating, and great fun. (There will
be preview performances without
dinner, at reduced rates, on September
27 and 28.) Group rates are available.
The
show will be a lot of fun, with
great music, great actors, and four
top players in the pit band. And
it's a real community fundraiser.
The Lions are doing the catering
and all proceeds will go to pay
for this year's hall renovations.
And ten dollars of every ticket
will be a donation toward the theatre
building project, with charitable
tax receipts available. So book
now for best seats and a "tamarackin'
good time."
Our
travelling Barn Dance! show
stops next in Ottawa November 3
and 4 at Lakeside Gardens (Britainnia
Park) each night at 8 p.m. This
is a popular dance hall. Come prepared
to dance. The show features multi-fiddle
champion Brian Hebert of Pembroke,
the wonderful Carol Kennedy on keys,
Ottawa Valley Hall of Famer Al Utronki
on steel, fan favourite Ken Ramsden
on doghouse bass, the golden voice
of Lynn Davis, Stone Fence and show
producer Ish Theilheimer on fiddle,
Brian Downey on drums and the swing/step
dancing of Jenna and Merissa Henry.
Tickets are $18 in advance and $20
at the door. Then on November 18,
Barn Dance! plays at the new Rankin
Community Centre, where all tickets
are $15.
Building
a new home. As you know, Stone
Fence Theatre is working to build
a new home as part of a community-owned
cultural centre at Hoch Farm Park
in Killaloe. We are just beginning
our funding campaign and we need
lots of volunteers. If you can help,
please get in touch with us.
Country
woman of the year. Country Woman
Magazine is holding an online election
for Country Woman of the Year. We
endorse the nomination of Muriel
Verch of Rankin, Ontario! She is
a super-community activist, including
her tireless work to get the new
community centre in Rankin built
and for heritage radio. She also
happens to be a big Stone Fence
fan and mother of one of North America's
top fiddlers - April Verch. So please
case your vote for Muriel at http://www.countrywomanmagazine.com/2006/SO06/cw_wotyVoteX.asp
.
Please
do!
We
look forward to seeing you "up
the line!"
