Sometimes people travel a long way for classy entertainment when they can find it right here on Thetis.
Consider the show featuring Michelle Merlindth at our community centre March 24.
Michelle will perform The Songbird of Vienna, a beautifully crafted story poem she wrote and recited on stage at the Vancouver Fringe Festival last fall. I was glad to be among several islanders who attended one of her six performances there. We agreed that Michelle is an elegant talent waiting to be ‘discovered’.
Her whimsical story involves an aspiring composer whose failing career is rescued by a most unusual circumstance, a tale for animal lovers and human dreamers.
Three of Thetis’ fine musicians will also perform. Watch for further details. Admission is by donation to the show’s sponsor, School Orchards Africa, a charity founded by Maureen and Wayne Loiselle.
