Fiddler finishes and Awakenings auditions!

Hello fellow thespians!

It has been a whirlwind two weeks for the cast and crew of Fiddler on the Roof. They just wrapped up on the weekend and already there has been a review written about this wonderful gem of a play.

Mike Archer of Chilliwack Today writes about his experience, along with praises for Graham Archer and Linda McRae as Teyve and Golde, respectively. He writes "I was more than pleasantly surprised at last Saturday evening’s performance at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre … I was deeply moved by a near flawless performance"

Wow! What a review! Thank you Mike Archer of Chilliwack Today! For the article link, click here!

Theatre geek moment: within the article is a quote taken from my own mouth, credited to the Chilliwack Players Guild (which is clearly true, since I write for you lovely people). “A story of faith, family and the traditions of a certain milkman, who must learn about a new world.” Have you ever had been quoted before? Well, it sure does feel pretty neat! Cool!

And now for a quick reminder!

Fiddler on the Roof has arrived!

Hello fellow thespians!

Have you purchased your ticket yet for Fiddler on the Roof? Tickets are selling fast for this fantastic musical, which is being performed with cast and crew of about 120 wonderful volunteers.

Fiddler on the Roof centers on a little village of Anatevka, a settlement in Russia. It is 1905, and the rumblings of a revolution are to be heard all over the country. It is a story of faith, family and the traditions of a certain milkman, who must learn about a new world.
A wonderful cast of characters, fantastic set design, and spiritual songs will have you singing along and enjoying every moment.

Come out and support your local theatre company!

For tickets call The Centre Box Office at 604.391.7469.

Tickets are still available for remaining shows April 20, 21, 25-28 at 7:30pm, and the matinee on April 22 is selling out quickly!

Until next time friends. Cheers!

Fiddler on the Roof is coming very soon!

Greetings fellow thespians!

Haley here (finally!) to begin updating you with all things Chilliwack Players Guild related. I just recently joined the Players Guild last year - and my first show being the Lighting Designer/Operator in Witness for the Prosecution in October. Next, I jumped into the role of Assistant Stage Manager for 'Tis the Season in November!

And as for Fiddler on the Roof, we are deep into rehearsals filled with songs, dance numbers, and the spirit of Anatevka!

On Sunday we had full stagger through of the show. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, we basically ran through the scenes in order, but if something needed to be fixed, or redone, we stopped. This can make for a long night. But, very very productive.

So get your tickets early, they're available through the Centre Box Office by phone 604.391.SHOW, in person at 9201 Corbould Street, and online at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre's website.

Until next time friends. Cheers!

Changeroo!

We'll be switching bloggers soon here at the CPG. Currnetly our web designer Emily is taking care of this blog, but the demands of the website are proving to be a lot to handle! PHEW!
In the next week, Haley will be taking over. Many thanks to her, and we look forward to all the wonderful things she'll do with the blog.

Back!

Hey everyone!

Well, we got sooo busy with our 2011/2012 Season, that it's half way over!
A few changes, we are not doing A Stitch in Time anymore, and we've moved Awakenings to the summer spot.

Other than that, things have been going along swimmingly! We're into rehearsals for FIDDLER ON THE ROOF right now (with a cast of aprox 72)!

I for one cannot wait until we move into the CCC to fill the theatre with the voices in that chorus! It's sounding AMAZING!
