"Alice in Wonderland" - a traditional British-style panto

St Luke's Hall, 3821 Cedar hill X Road, Victoria
This holiday season, the St. Luke's Players invite you to delight in a
mirthful, musical journey with Alice to a place where things become
curiouser and curiouser with every step forward. The familiar tale of
Alice's adventures through Wonderland with the White Rabbit as her guide is
stretched and twisted to create surprises and hilarity zanier than the
maddest tea party imaginable in this traditional panto version of Alice in
Wonderland. A comic ensemble including Princess Euthanasia and Dame Gladys
joins a collection of well-loved Wonderland characters in a musical, madcap
romp where audience members can boo the evil Queen of Hearts and cheer for
Alice and her good-hearted friends. The St. Luke's Players proudly present
"Alice in Wonderland" this holiday season (December 21, 2011 - January 2,

8th Annual Poetry Gabriola Festival
February 16 - 19
Poetry Gabriola had an amazing year in 2011 with the creation of the Poetry Yurt at the Commons and a full summer program of performance labs.
Now we're kicking off 2012 in a big way - with the 8th Annual Poetry Gabriola Festival! Newly positioned on the calendar to chase away the winter blues, this year's celebration of literature, spoken word, and music runs from Thursday, February 16 to Sunday, February 19 at the Dragon's Lodge on Gabriola Island.
The four evening mainstage performances feature artists from across Canada, including six British Columbia poets commissioned to create new works. This year's commissioned poets are Susan Musgrave, Gregory Scofield, Barbara Adler, CR Avery, Jordan Scott and Tim Lander, and will be appearing through a special initiative formed in partnership with the BC Arts Council.
As well as four feature evening presentations, 2012 will offer afternoon events, salons, workshops, school shows, cameo performances, and of course the return of the hit event, Knock-Knock, Who's There? This FREE, family-friendly, site-specific installation features local and visiting artists performing in the 11 teeny, tiny cabins on the grounds of the Dragon's Lodge.
Join us on Facebook and Twitter!
See you at the festival!!
