Are you feeling a little weary of Hallmark holidays and mushy love stories?
Then this evening was created with you in mind. Join us this pre-Valentine's weekend for tunes, tales and theatreabout gut-wrenching, unrequited love, about love matches not made in heaven, about love gone awry and about love gone out the window and never coming back.
On Friday, February 10, at 7 p.m., come out to the Tir-na-nOg Theatre for Happily Never After, the variety show that's sure to provide a thorough cleanse through laughter and tears in preparation for a truly wonderful Valentine's Day. You will support the Black Sheep Morris Dancers' touring season (England, again?!) as well as the theatre school's building fund and help to ensure an ongoing venue for the upcoming 24th Spring Festival of Plays.
The evening will feature two scenes from The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe by Jane Wagner, a teaser for the full play which will run as part of the Spring Festival.
The variety show's lineup includes Bowen's Black Sheep Morris Dancers and Tir-na-nOg adult students Tanya Voormeij-de Zwart and Laura O'Neill. Also taking the stage will be Martin Clarke as MC, Lyn, Emily and Adrian Van Lidth de Jeude, Corbin Keep and the Bowen Island Cello Collective, Lisa Shatzky, Kat Bernards, Susan Munro and the inimitable Bob Doucet and friends.
Tickets ($20 for adult or $15 for students/seniors/underemployed) are for sale at Phoenix-or at the door.
