Local artist, choreographer and dance instructor Debra McNie is in the process of turning a dream and a vision into stage reality as the date nears for auditions for characters in her collective community theatre project, ‘Potato Dreams,’ which is scheduled to take place following the 2012 Stampede Street Party.

The dream for this production had its beginnings in the late 1950s and early 1960s when Debra McNie was a young girl in Williams Lake and would pass the Potato House with her mother and stop to chat with Manuel and Alcina and see their magnificent garden.

Throughout the month of April performing artists have the opportunity to receive feedback, suggestions and encouragement from adjudicators whose skills and experience in a wide range of disciplines can help performers grow and improve.

(Stephen and Luke Noble performed this afternoon in Speech Arts, held at the Calvary Tabernacle Church.)

Today was the last rehearsal for ‘Glendale Junction and the Border Band’ before the theatre doors open at Glendale Elementary School next week. A country/rock band will take the stage to back up 25 young singers from the school in a lively community concert that will entertain, inspire and showcase the talent of local kids.

(Carol Begg, Grade 4 student and member of ‘Glendale Junction’, says that the audiences at the concerts next week are in for some fun surprises.)
