Showtime 9pm. Doors at 8 o'clock. $8 regular admission. $5 if you wear a Sweater Vest. Sweater Vest is RC Weslowski as Chipotle Incognita\, Martin VanSteinburg as Heisenberg Incognita and Fernando Raguero as our Fillipino man servant Rutger Ovaries. This is a remounting of the original ballet done in 1975. The show is broken down in to two parts. The first half is a concert by Sweater Vest. The second half is an improvised ballet on top of freshly chewed bubblegum by several dancers. The show caused such a stir in 1975 that it was banned and cancelled after only one performance. Saliva control was given as the reason but everyone knows that innovation was the true culprit. Anyhow these are hopefully more culturally aware times and the show will go on once again. Please join us. People with dentures are welcome as well.

Here are some of the conclusions contained in the Interim Report of The Davies Commission. - Sgt. Sanderson wrongly refused Frank Paul access to the Jail's sobering cell\, and Cst. Instant wrongly left him exposed to the elements\, when he was incapable of caring for himself and where there was obvious risk to his health and safety. Sgt. Sanderson's explanations for refusing Frank Paul admission to the Jail are wholly unpersuasive and I reject them in their entirety. The arresting officers were correct to conclude that Mr. Paul was severely intoxicated and unable to care for himself\, and they were acting within existing departmental policy in referring him to the sobering cell of the Jail. Frank Paul's condition at the Jail without question justified his admission to the sobering cell\, and also justified an immediate assessment as to whether he also required medical assistance. He made no resistance and offered no objection to people caring for him\, and he did not in any way cause or contribute to being left exposed to the elements in an alleyway on a winter's night. He was not left in circumstances similar to those in which he lived on the street-he was arrested under the cover from the rain afforded by an awning on the street front where he was found\, but was left exposed to the wet and the rain in the alleyway. It is not the case that the risks to his health and safety were the same where he was left as they were in his daily existence. - The Aboriginal community quite understandably became concerned about the actions of the police officers involved\, and became suspicious of the adequacy of the investigation. However\, in my view\, some of that community's more grave concerns can now be laid to rest. Specifically\, Frank Paul did not die in the police wagon-the witness Patrick Lewis saw Frank Paul alive at least two hours after Cst. Instant left him in the laneway. I am also satisfied that neither ethnic discrimination nor overt hostility motivated Frank Paul's arrest\, and that his Aboriginal status was not a factor in Sgt. Sanderson treating him with callous indifference. (Bob Kennedy) FOR THIS MEMORIAL\, We will meet outside the First United Church.. and walk down to the alley way where Frank was brought in & out of. You are invited to bring a bag or box of fruit\, juices\, sandwiches\, warm clothing\, sleeping bags etc to hand out...

"Music for the season and all time." Tidings stirs together traditional Christmas carols and holiday favourites with an organic blend of rock\, jazz\, folk\, gospel and soul. "The Yuletide find of the year\," says The Record. "Be prepared to be amazed\," chimes ChristmasReviews.com "Allison Crowe has a voice to fall in love with\," says UK music industry journal Record of the Day. “She is from Vancouver Island in Canada\, descended from Scottish\, Irish and Manx stock. She's exactly the sort of artist who can make serious headway on her own label and that's just what she's doing." When this phenomenon 'from the islands' (Vancouver Island and Newfoundland) reached the mainland she steered a path clear of what Joni Mitchell knowingly calls the record business' "style inventions". With Ani DiFranco as a model of integrity\, and Creative Commons licensing changing the "game" for resourceful musicians\, Crowe created her own label. Since 2003\, Rubenesque Records Ltd has released six critically and commercially successful albums: Lisa’s Song + 6 Songs\; Secrets\; Tidings\; Live at Wood Hall\; This Little Bird\; and Little Light. Crowe's next album is Spiral. "The first thing you notice about Allison Crowe is her voice. Rich and dark\, it seems to come from a place most singers can only dream of accessing. Then there are the songs. Filled with raw passion and accompanied by Crowe's eloquent piano playing\," writes Clodagh O'Connell (The Courier). Hers is a joyous sound: "Elton John meets Edith Piaf." A sensation at the UK's John Lennon Northern Lights Festival\, where she performed on a bill with the Queen's Master of Music\, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies\, and the UK's Poet Laureate\, Carol Ann Duffy\, "Canadian angel Alison Crowe gave one of the weekend's most magical moments\," says The Scotsman. Festival Director Mike Merritt describes Crowe as "awesome" and "spine-tingling"\, noting her performance "put hairs on the back of your neck! She brought the house down." A true grassroots success\, Crowe is praised not only as a singularly talented songwriter - on themes personal as well as worldly - and as an exciting\, visceral\, performer\, but\, also\, as a supreme interpreter of song. Her vital takes on such 21st century standards as Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and Joni Mitchell's "River" are applauded as "truly transcendent" and her singular covers have achieved broad\, even mainstream\, popularity\, featured by BBC Radio\, MOJO magazine and by acclaimed Hollywood director Zack Snyder (300\, The Watchmen). Longtime NPR broadcaster Ross Hocker calls Allison Crowe's show\, "The most honest\, heartfelt\, and directly intimate concert in my entire life."

Morna has opened a treasure chest of repertoire\, with selections by Franck\, Schumann\, Brahms and Fauré\, to showcase Elektra’s lustrous sound. The nineteenth century saw the development of the piano as a musical instrument for both solo work and accompaniment\, as exemplified in the works by Schumann\, Fauré and Franck chosen for this concert. Elektra is fortunate to once again have the renowned Stephen Smith on the piano bench\, contributing his artistry to the performance. The central work on the program is Brahm’s Four Songs for Women’s Chorus\, two horns and harp Op. 17. Lyrical\, subdued and full of warm nostalgia\, the vocal lines are masterfully set amongst the rich sonority of their accompaniment. Elektra is delighted to welcome the young women of Mira\, the choir’s mentorship program to participate in Romance. These high school-aged singers have rehearsed selected repertoire from this program and will sing with Elektra for parts of this performance. Romance offers an early summer afternoon’s entertainment\, and an invitation into a musical age where fantasy\, imagination\, and a quest for adventure and far away lands played an important role. Come and be born away into the golden reveries of Romance: Schumann\, Brahms\, & Fauré.
