SUMMARY:Lucas Myers: ROOF
DESCRIPTION:Trail & District Arts Council and the Trail Community Action Team bring you Lucas Myers in “Roof”.In ROOF\, a humorous yet socially conscious one-person show\, Lucas Myers weaves together elements of stand-up comedy\, physical theatre\, and his trademark brand of observational humor to tell the story of Dave and Stevie.Dave is a highly successful real estate agent who is living the dream: hot car\, great kids\, beautiful wife\, gorgeous sound system\, designer kitchen. Just as he is about to launch his own self-improvement video series\, #HiMyNameIsDave\, he discovers major issues with his roof and cracks begin to form in his perfect world. Enter Stevie\, a journeyman roofer with aspirations of being a stand-up comic\, who is the only person capable of dealing with Dave’s narcissistic hyper vigilance. As they attempt to collaborate on the roof project\, Stevie forces Dave to confront his shortcomings and come to terms with what being a good person really means. As their initial views of each other are challenged\, ROOF examines our preconceptions around mental health\, addiction\, and homelessness as the characters are forced to confront their own assumptions.Created and performed by Lucas Myers\, the creator of A Beginners Guide to Nelsonia\, CAMPGROUND and DECK.Please note: This performance is not suitable for children.There will be a short pre-show chat\, free naloxone kits will be distributed\, and a counselor will be on location to help anyone who needs to talk.Our co-presenter for the show\, Trail Community Action Team (TCAT)\, works to reduce harm and improve services for people with lived and living experience of drug use in the Lower Columbia. They provide support and advocate to all levels of government to reform drug policy to end the loss of lives caused by the current toxic drug supply.Audience Response“Sometimes life lessons come from the most unexpected places. Who would have thought a one man comedy show could make your eyes well up with tears. I am inspired to be a better “good human” thanks to your amazing show!”“What a great show! I am in awe about how you have created a totally fresh new piece. This one is so important and SO funny and so true. You have done such a great job reflecting our social isolation to us while the act of watching this show with others makes you feel connected. Bravo!”“Bravo for ROOF.

SUMMARY:Sitka String Quartet coming to Rossland!
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Rossland Miners Hall on Friday\, February 24th for the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture presentation of: Sitka String Quartet!We hate to end our Performance Series season but at least we get the pleasure of welcoming this talented group of women to the stage.Sitka String Quartet was formed by friends and colleagues in the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. After years of playing together in the larger ensemble\, and sharing numerous concerts as chamber musicians within the VSO Chamber Players\, it was a natural extension of their like-minded musical curiosity\, open-heartedness\, and a fearless willingness to explore quartet repertoire across many genres that propelled these four musicians to form a professional quartet.They have enjoyed shared and individual performances in Italy\, France\, Germany\, Denmark\, Poland\, Austria\, Japan\, China\, Korea\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, and Australia. Their affection for British Columbia has kept them living within a few kilometres of one another\, and they are proud to perform in their home\, BC\, whenever the opportunity arises. Memorable live performances within the last ten months include an outdoor performance on Grouse Mountain near Vancouver\, and performances at the Firehall Theatre\, and High Beams Dreams in Gibsons\, BC.Help us welcome Cassandra Bequary\, Karen Gerbrecht\, Emilie Grimes\, and Olivia Blander as Sitka String Quartet!One thousand thank-you’s to our generous sponsors this season including Teck Trail Operations Ltd\, ITS Consulting\, the City of Rossland\, the BC Touring Council\, the BC Arts Council and the Province of British Columbia.For more information please contact: performance.rcac@gmail.comSee you at the Miners Hall!Sitka String Quartet (Music- String Quartet)90 minute performance; two 45 minute sets with intermissionFebruary 24\, 2023\, 7:30PMDoors open at 7pmMiners Hall\, 1765 Columbia Ave\, Rossland$25/ticket
