Happy new year, everyone! Hard to believe that we have left 2010 behind, is not it?
I’m sure it’s going to be another arts-filled year in our fair city, and I’m looking forward to hearing from everyone with news to share.
If you have arts and entertainment ideas you’d like to share with the city, be sure to contact me and I’ll do my ideal to help you spread the word.
And, in the meantime, here are a few tidbits for you from the brand-new 2011 arts file.
The theater group is presenting Norman, Is That You?, a comedy by Ron Clark and Sam Bobrick.
The play follows the story of Ben Chambers and his wife, Beatrice. When Beatrice leaves her husband, Ben decides to go to New York to visit his son – only to discover that Norman is gay.
“Chaos ensues as Ben tries every ploy to put his son ‘straight,’ and when Beatrice shows up, things become even more complicated,” a press release explains.
The cast includes Vagabond veterans Isabel Mendenhall, Pat McDermott and Alexandra Wilson, along with newcomers Harry Pering and James Rha. It’s directed by Paul Kloegman.
The play runs Jan. 20 to Feb. 12 at the Bernie Legge Theatre in Queen’s Park.
Evening shows are on at 8 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $15 regular, $13 for seniors and $5 for students.
Local residents are invited to a reading and book signing by Franci Louann at the end of the month.
It’s set for Sunday, Jan. 30 at 2:30 p.m. at Renaissance Books, 43 Sixth St.
Franci will be reading from her just-released chapbook, Beach Cardiology, a collection of poems that spans five decades and four continents.
“The title refers to the dreams and hopes that expire unrequited, and turn to stone on a beach somewhere,” a press release explains.
You can find out more about the book on-line at the Lipstick Press website, http://lipstickpoetry.blogspot.com – see the link on the right-hand side for Beach Cardiology.
Franci’s Jan. 30 reading will be followed by a Poetic Justice gathering at 4 p.m., hosted by Ruth Kozak and featuring poet Marc Creamore.
Youth in New Westminster are being invited to take part in a new handbell choir.
Rehearsals start Jan. 13, 5 to 6 p.m. at Queens Avenue United Church, 529 Queens Ave.
For more information or to register for the group, call 604-597-3894.
