RECEPTION MUSICAL LINE-UP: Original Jazz from Mystic Groove

ALSO, BE SURE AND CATCH A COUPLE OF SPECIAL EVENTS AT THE CAPITOL: Tuesday, June 23th - 7:30PM: Reading of the play, “Cloudburst” by Thom Fitzgerald.

Synopsis: Now in their seventies, Stella and Dot make a bold decision: they will escape a nursing home to make their way to Canada, where same-sex marriage is legal. En route to Canada, they pick up a young hitchhiker, Prentice. A small-

town boy turned modern dancer, he is returning to Nova Scotia to visit his dying mother. With equal parts humour and grace, Cloudburst explores the important themes of life, death and love through the eyes of this oddball trio.

“ART IN BUSINESS” Art Rave facilitates an arrangement whereby artists display their work in participating business throughout Port Alberni for the entire month of June.

PARTICIPATING BUSINESSES: Flandangles Royal Bank Boutique Belle Amies

The concept is simple, the times were simple. The audience watch a 1940’s cast arrive for work and present a special family friendly radio play. Buckeroo Bob and his trusty sidekick Seamus save a damsel (or two) in distress and rescue one more dusty town from demise.
