Thornbury Community Theatre Clarksburg, The Blue Mountains

Thursday, May 03, 2007 - Saturday, May 05, 2007
There Goes The Bride, a comedy by Ray Cooney and John Chapman. This wildly funny British farce was a huge hit in London's West End. An hour before his daughter's wedding, Timothy Westerby is still trying to find a sure-fire idea for one of his advertising clients -- a brassiere company. After he inadvertently mixes medication and alcohol, his middle-aged insecurities trigger an identity crisis that prompts him to create an imaginary love affair with an 1920s flapper. As usual, neither his wife nor his business partner take him seriously. London's Daily Mirror called it ä fiendishly funny farce"and The Times'reviewer raved, "The spirit of true farce takes over". Tickets on sale in early April at Jessica's Book Nook, Thornbury; The Crow's Nest, Collingwood; Stuff To Read, Meaford or call 519-599-6785. Advance tickets $8 adults, $4 children. At the door on performance nights (limited availaility) $10 adults.

HOT ROCKS 'Rolling Stones Show' Collingwood

Thursday, May 17, 2007 - Thursday, May 17, 2007
MAY 17 The Collingwood Rotary Club is proud to present ‘HOT ROCKS’ – THE ROLLING STONES SHOW’ - for one performance only at the Gayety Theatre at 8 p.m. Doors will open at 7.30 p.m. Rush Seating. Tickets are $ 30 each. Formed with the sole objective of delivering the most captivating replication of a contemporary Rolling Stones concert, ‘HOT ROCKS’ plays venues in Toronto and throughout southern Ontario, as well as across Canada and internationally. Their website www.hotrocks.ca has plenty of great photos and video. Originally modelled after the Stones’ hugely successful 2003 “Licks” and continuing through the "Bigger Bang" tour, HOT ROCKS recreates a contemporary Rolling Stones concert in full costume and repertoire – they look and sound like just like the Stones! And – they will be bringing their show to The Gayety Theatre in Collingwood on May 17, 2007 . This show is a fundraiser sponsored by the Collingwood Rotary Club and is in support of a very worthy cause - the final worldwide eradication of polio. The lead singer - a dead ringer for Mick Jagger - captures the essence of the greatest performer in rock and roll, and leads the band through four decades of The Rolling Stones’ greatest hits, and occasionally some of their lesser known gems. The other members of the band have their acts down cold, from a “Keith Richards” look-alike, striking all the rights chords and all the right moves, to a “Ronnie Wood” hitting those classic guitar solos and definitely looking the part, and the rhythm section has the beat nailed down. This is going to be a great show and the proceeds going to a great cause, so come on out for this one-of-a-kind event in support of the Collingwood Rotary Club. This is the ultimate tribute to the Rolling Stones, featuring a live band, with back-up strings and horns, excellent vocals and an all-round amazing show ! You’ll truly think you are watching the real thing. Great fun for the whole family ! All the proceeds will go to the Rotary International programme for Polio Eradication. Tickets can be obtained at IDA – Stuart Ellis Pharmacy, 169 Hurontario Street, The Financial Centre, 59, Hurontario Street, Terase Art & Home, in Blue Mountain Village or at 45 Bruce Street South in Thornbury, or from any Rotary Club member. For further information, please call Dennis at 444 2544.
