SUMMARY:Here on the Flight Path
DESCRIPTION:Cranbrook Community Theatre presents ‘Here on the Flight Path’ by Norm Foster\, directed by Peter Schalk.‘Here on the Flight Path’ is about Laughter\, Love\, Loss\, and Life.February 2\, 3\, 8-11*\, 14-17\, 2024Tickets $25 eachMembers & Students $20Students use code: STU-5 at the check out pageWhat is believed to be the playwright’s most brilliant comedy has inspired Director/Producer Peter Schalk to take on the only male role\, ‘John Cummings’\, a writer who has a regular column in the local paper entitled “Cummings and Goings” which he finds particularly clever. A recently divorced Cummings has his interest\, and perhaps also his desire\, piqued by three successive female neighbours. ‘Fay’\, a high-end call girl\, who is more fit\, mentally astute\, and determined than Cummings could ever hope to be; ‘Angel’\, a young woman pursuing her dream of breaking into musicals; and ‘Gwen’\, a driving instructor from Vancouver who has left her husband. All three female characters are portrayed by Elena Hark\, making each performance an incredible and memorable live theatre experience!Audiences will howl with laughter as the story reveals many humorous layers such as the uniformity in Cummings’ approach as he encounters each of his new neighbours and his attempts to adjust his approach to suit the personality of each woman. The contrast of the three women is also comedic – the worldly-wise Fay versus the naive Angel versus the emotional and confused Gwen \n.

SUMMARY:Creston Concert Society presents Piano Heist!
DESCRIPTION:Lifelong friends\, and colleagues\, Nico Rhodes\, Patrick Courtin\, shocked and appalled by the realization that piano just isn’t cool anymore\, set off on a divine quest to redeem the keyboard and reinstate its reputation as the greatest instrument of ALL TIME! Armed with the music of the greatest composers\, songwriters\, and performers of the past 400 years\, and the technology of the 21st century – their vitual orchestra (Dougie)\, Nico and Patrick deliver everything from classical piano raptures to bombastic boogie woogie\, from romantic piano ballads to 80’s keyboard synth battles in their show Piano Heist! What ensues is a mishmash of theatrical wonder\, comedy\, audience participation\, heartfelt stories\, a pinch of history\, and a world of musical madness. Advance tickets currently available at crestonauditorium.tickit.ca for $30 adult\, $15 youth\, and Fly in the Fibre and Kingfisher Books two weeks prior to performance. $35 adult and $15 youth at the door.
