fast-paced show, we go through a whole series of emotions and
narrative twists and come out the other end with a nice complete
experience intact.”
- Toronto Star
“The fun, and the beauty, of this
high-spirited performance...what sets the whole show apart is, in a
word, joy.”
- Edmonton Journal
"Raven interpretation soars,
delights...as an actress, she has a wonderfully real and soothing
presence; as a stager, Laronde knows how to be inventive without
getting overly glitzy. The young audience paid strict attention as
dance, lighting, words, music and costumes all came together in a
carefully orchestrated mix."
-Toronto Star
"Red Sky steals the show...lovely
open-hearted approach under Laronde's direction. The players not
only invite us into the tale but encourage us to become part of it
as well."
-Toronto Sun
”What a wonderful experience for
our students! The show was masterful. The content was great and the
actors were able to hold all 300 of us captive.”
-Jill Kates, Teacher, Driftwood Public School
“I loved having Red Sky come here. I wish it never ended!”
-Hailey, 8 years old, Buckingham Elementary School

Bill Anderson
Bill Anderson
Country
- He’s known as “Whispering Bill,” a nickname hung on him years ago as a
result of his breathy voice and his warm, soft approach to singing a
country song. His credentials, however, shout his prominence: One of the
most awarded songwriters in the history of country music, a
million-selling recording artist many times over, television game show
host (ABC's The Better Sex), soap opera star (One Life To Live)
and a consummate onstage performer. His back-up group, The Po’ Folks
Band, has long been considered one of the finest instrumental and vocal
groups in the business.
Bill Anderson was
born in Columbia, South Carolina, but raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He
moved to Nashville and began turning out the hits with Po’Folks,
Mama Sang A Song, The Tips Of My Fingers, 8X10 and
Still. He has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1961.
Between 2005 and
2007 won numerous awards for co-writing CMA Song of the Year honors for
Whiskey Lullaby, recorded by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss, a
Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association for the Country/Gospel
Recorded Song of the Year, Jonah, Job, and Moses, sung by the Oak
Ridge Boys, and his first ACM Song of the Year Award for Give It Away,
recorded by George Strait. Give It Away went on to win the CMA
Song of the Year as well as affording Anderson his fourth Grammy
nomination. His soon to be released album is titled Songwriter.
Songs: The
Tips Of My Fingers, Still, 8 X 10, My Life (Throw
It Away If I Want To), The Corner Of My Life, Po' Folks,

The Imperials
Little Anthony and The Imperials
R&B/Doo Wop
- After high school, Anthony Gourdine (originally with The Duponts) left
to join The Chesters, a group founded by Clarence Collins who were
looking fror a lead voice. In early '58, Richart Barrett and Lou Gally
(from End Records) signed the group to a contract and named them The
Imperials. Their first record for End Records was a double-sided ballad
smash. The "A" side, Tears on My Pillow instantly launched their
career into musical history. This would be one of their biggest-selling
hits, with over one million copies sold and has been one of the most
enduring love ballads of the 50s. The flip side hit, Two People in
the World made this one of the most popular double-sided ballad
records in vocal group history. Other hits include Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko
Ko Bop, I'm On The Outside (Looking In), Goin' Out Of My Head
and Out of Sight, Out Of Mind.
Officially
reuniting in early 1992, the group had not performed together for over
17 years, yet the magic returned immediately and audiences are showing
their approval with thunderous applause. Their long-awaited album,
You'll Never Know was released in 2008 with 12 original songs
including remakes of four of the group's million selling hit songs. The
same year, the group marked their 50th anniversary. In 2009,
the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Members: Anthony
Gourdine, Clarence Collins, Ernest Wright & Harold Jenkins

Lorne Elliott
"Chasing The Big Silly"
Canadian humourist
LORNE ELLIOTT is
bringing his show of Comedy and Music Theatre back to the MAE WILSON
THEATRE in Moose Jaw (Sk) on Saturday, April 24th 2010.
His concert performance
is a selection of his current monologues and songs dealing with life
experience. Creating new stage material about having to redefine
priorities in view of life events is a welcome challenge to this writer
and stage performer who enjoys shaking the perceived wisdom of the world
around him.
The presentation is
delightfully foolish, witty and thought-provoking. Combining dry humour
with musical parodies and skits Lorne Elliott is a shrewd observer of
the human animal. Often self-deprecating, always silly and never
profane, Elliott’s funny is family friendly.
This past summer Lorne
was in Newfoundland, working on the premiere of his play “CULTURE SHOCK
– THE MUSICAL” presented at the Stephenville Theatre Festival. The play
has garnered full houses and great reviews across Canada for many years
and Lorne was thrilled to be given the opportunity of giving it a new
dimension with music. Both the audience and the media enjoyed it.
As well this summer,
Acorn Press from Charlottetown PEI published Lorne’s first book “THE
FIXER-UPPER”, a novella based on his hit play “Tourist Trap“.
For the past 26 years
Lorne Elliott has been touring and performing in concert in theatres
and arts centres across Canada, the U.S. and Australia. Regularly
featured on TV on such programs as The Montreal Just For Laughs
Festival, Comedy Variety Specials in Canada and the U.S.
For 11 seasons
"Madly Off in all Directions"
was Lorne’s
own CBC Radio Comedy Series which went on till Fall 2006. Lorne is
currently developing new projects.
