The second performance of Desperately Seeking Samuel on August 22, 2022 was received with rave reviews from a spellbound audience of cottagers and local residents. The script was a slightly revised one from the film version with a recorded and revised prologue and a brand new epilogue. The only sounds uttered by the audience during the 90-minute performance were some chuckles now and then, - ones the playwright had hoped for. The bare stage, without a visible set, came alive with the aid of the actor's words and movements. The playwright describes this as "naked theatre", without the aid of lighting, props or sets. Definitely a different kind of theatre. The play will be performed in Granville Ferry, Nova Scotia on Thursday, 22 September, 2022. It will be a benefit performance for the Champlain Elementary School's breakfast and lunch programme. Tickets will be available from 7 September at Bainton's (The Mad Hatter Bookstore) in Annapolis Royal.
Congratulations to all who made the Schafner Point Lighthouse Benefit on Saturday evening an overwhelming success. The sold out crowd of over 70 enthusiastic people enjoyed an evening of spectacular entertainment by fiddler Steve Klein and actor Paul Rapsey. Steve played brilliantly throughout the evening. The audience engaged in energetic hand clapping and foot stomping to his music. Paul’s monologue was sprinkled with both delightful laughter and pin dropping silence from the audience, culminating in a prolonged and spontaneous standing ovation. The many volunteers of the Port Royal Lighthouse Association and of the Lower Granville Hall were the backbone of the evening. Bravo! Steve will be playing his fiddle again on Saturday, March 18 at the Granville Ferry Community Hall in the village starting at 7:00 p.m. He will be joined by Scott Henderson on pipes and flute. There are no tickets, but admission will be on a first-come-first-served basis. Doors open at 6:30. Entry fee is $1...
