Member News - February 2011

Comment from Maureen and Chris Walker after seeing A Time to Remember, last weekend:

"We loved the show yesterday and the last number made even me cry a little bit. I started thinking about all the years we have spent in Globe, and even before, in the old Rotary Club days. It has been a wonderful hobby and, although I have spent more than my fair share of moaning and groaning, I have really loved every minute of it! It is really great to go into a show and be hugged and kissed and have that naughty old Joe blowing kisses at me! I think Globe should do more of these types of shows and less book shows in the theatre. The audience loves them. Keep up the good work."

- Congratulations to Maeve Sharkey who recently received first class honours in her Royal Conservatory of Music Grade 7 Voice Exam, distinguishing herself with a rare mark of 88%. Way to go Maeve!

- Congratulations to Kasandra Henson, a Globe youth group veteran and jungle creature in Seussical who just heard that she is accepted to the Theatre Arts Program at Laurentian University. Yeah Kasandra!

- And Glober's great work just keeps on coming - Congratulations to Globe youth company graduate, Travis Paul, who is working hard in the elite Musical Theatre Bachelor of Fine Arts Program at Viterbo University.

Shop Windows and Display Cases

Have you ever looked longingly at shop windows and thought, "If only I could be on the inside, assembling those mannequins and unleashing my creative display side!"

Then here is an opportunity for you! We've reserved the Young's Pharmacy window to promote Seussical from March 6 - 20 and we're looking for some creative geniuses or just regular people with some cool Dr. Seuss stuff to help us create something eye-catching.

We've also arranged through the generosity of the Halton Hills Public Library and Beverly King (librarian and mother to Cindy Loo Who, Madeline King) to use its display case featured at the bottom of the stairs on its lower level from mid February to mid March. Any thoughts, inspirations or Dr. Seuss-like stuff most appreciated!!
