Sweet Heart Gala
I love my job. I have the privilege of working with Evangel Chapel, bringing great events to the community of Fort St John such as Party in the Park and Candy Planet. At a recent staff meeting the question of Valentine’s day came up. Could we plan a super awesome, heart-themed event for the community? Should we? Of course!
The discussion brought up all the usual Valentine ideas. Couples, time together, family, love. And for our area in particular, the notion of the craziness of ‘the patch’ lifestyle and what that can do to a family or relationship and the sort of special support that might be needed. Before I knew it, we were planning an evening of great food, incredible entertainment, wonderful company and, of course, a great time with your significant other. The list just grew. As did mine. But it’s all okay, because I am part of planning something great. Something that I would want to attend even if I was not planning it. I would definitely want to go out with my man and eat an incredible meal with Naomi Shore serenading us, while having great conversations with old and new friends. And I would want to laugh a little or a lot while watching some people make complete fools of themselves re-enacting their own version of the Marriage Ref. I would like to hear even more music, maybe from Joseph teBulte, and then I would like to finish off the night with a decadent dessert and a little dancing with my sweetheart.
Yes. That is exactly what I would like to do! I love my job. I get paid to plan the best date night ever!

“Snow Follies” Dinner Theatre with Spontaneous Combustion Improv
What do red sneakers and pickles have in common? Who puts cream cheese on the Eiffel Tower? And where did grandma misplace her Blue Tooth yesterday? Spontaneous Combustion reveals this and more at the Improvisational Dinner Theatre on November 19, at the Quality Inn Northern Grand.
Stage North’s Spontaneous Combustion is bringing back “Snow Follies” Improv theatre by popular demand. A full course dinner complete with hilarious improvisational theatre makes an entertaining evening with Stage North for one night only on Friday, November 19. Spontaneous Combustion is aptly named because Improv theatre is performed “on the spot” and elicits explosive laughter. The audience calls out a suggestion to the Improv actors who work with it to create a dialogue, a setting , a plot that may be comical or absurd but always entertaining. Improvisational theatre is fun; it is instructive; and it develops skills for the workplace for those participating. For those watching, it is funny; it is surprising; and, sometimes, it is shocking.
The core group of Improv actors meets each week to hone their skills in quick thinking and creative acting. They are looking forward to the Nov 19 Dinner Theatre performance where they will stage some new situations, create totally new material, and move the audience to laugh and enjoy.
The Improv actors of Stage North are under the direction of Clarice Eckford who is new to Stage North this year. Clarice is a professional actor and a poet who recently moved to Fort St. John. She was last seen in “Foreplay-The Art of the Fugue” in August when the summer Improv group performed at the Lido Theatre. She has a long list of credits in theatre in Edmonton and worked with The Fringe in Edmonton for many years. Clarice had extensive experience in Improvisation as a member of Edmonton’s Rapidfire Theatre.
Clarice enjoys working with Stage North’s Improv group. She said, “I was delighted at the level of talent and the calibre of performance of the group since they are all dedicated volunteers and not employed actors.” Clarice plans to expand the Improv group to include more players and welcomes new people.
Stage North invites you to “Snow Follies” Dinner Theatre with Spontaneous Combustion Improv on Friday, November 19, at the Quality Inn Northern Grand. Tickets for the dinner and show are$50 and
available at the North Peace Cultural Centre box office 250-785-1992 or online at tickets.npcc.bc.ca. All tickets must be purchased by November 16 to allow a final meal count for the Northern Grand.
