From publicity at kwlt.org Wed Sep 3 08:07:45 2008 From: publicity at kwlt.org (Anita Kilgour, Publicity Officer) Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2008 08:07:45 -0400 Subject: [KWLT Announce] Entertainment, dinner, and supporting your local theatre! Message-ID: <75f619430809030507t18843c75r4ac4eca10c2585ec@mail.gmail.com> Kitchener-Waterloo Little Theatre, in coordination with Battle of the Bards, presents the first annual KWLT Fundraising dinner An evening of good food, entertainment and music, with all funds raised going towards the Kitchener-Waterloo Little Theatre for the rebuilding of it's theatre. Bards and KWLT, working together with the Castle on King, are offering a night of good food, live entertainment and a chance to do something for the local arts community. Tickets for this evening are $60 each, with a tax receipt for $30. Want to make sure you sit with your friends? We have a number of sizes of tables available, with a table of 4 costing $200. Doors will open at 5:30 on October 6, with things kicking off at 6pm. Dinner will be at the Castle; where great beer and fantastic food find good friends. An old style restaurant and pub with a modern outlook and a relaxed atmosphere, the Castle is famous for their beer, serving only the finest ales and lagers from select Ontario microbreweries and specialty imports from around the world. It's a unique beer experience for the true connoisseur, and the food matches the excellence in the beer, giving a unique style and vibrancy you won't find anywhere else. Kitchener-Waterloo Little Theatre has presented live community theatre in KW for over 75 years. Setting itself apart from the rest of the theatre community, KWLT is an an entry point to anyone interested in the theatre experience. KWLT opens its doors to new inexperienced actors and directors and produces locally written shows. A large number of people involved with KWLT in any given year are enjoying their first acting experience. On July19th, 2002 our theatre burned to the ground. In just over 15 hours, portions of our 75 year history were destroyed forever. Since then, we have been working through volunteer efforts and donations towards being able to move back into our home theatre. Current estimates with our Rebuild Manager, Chris Rovers, puts the day we can reopen at 9 Princess St. E. in next spring. We've worked hard to get to this point but we know we couldn't have made it without the support of our community. Since 2002, Battle of the Bards has provided a venue for performers in the Waterloo Region to showcase their skills and talents in friendly competition. In 2008, the Battle of the Bards team began organizing fundraisers for not-for-profit groups that lack the resources to produce their own events. Through these functions, Battle of the Bards hopes to enhance the profile of amateur artistry and entertainment while giving back to our community. Contact us to arrange a Battle of the Bards show on behalf of your organization. To order tickets, please contact the KWLT Box Office at boxoffice at kwlt.org.

Based on a true story, "Milli" is a lovely romantic comedy with a handy supply of humour. This play is a genuinely witty exploration of unexpected love. In 1972, the Duke of Windsor (Edward VIII) dies while living in exile. Two weeks later in Canada, an 80 year-old woman from a small town named Galt has her tombstone engraved, claiming to be his wife. Flashback to 1919 as the Prince of Wales visits Canada. Bored with the pomp and circumstance, he slips away from his official duties and begins a romance with a charming young woman.

The production is scheduled to open January 15, 2008 in the Theatre Auditorium at Wilfrid Laurier University and will run until January 17. The MTI website describes Grand Hotel as a story that "Intertwines a cast of eccentric characters through a series of fateful encounters. Passing through the golden light and dark shadows of The Grand Hotel is the fading, still-beautiful Prima Ballerina; the charming young Baron, out of money, riding on his looks; the ambitious Hollywood hopeful; the mortally ill bookkeeper, meeting society before his grave; the honest, hardworking father-to-be; and the doctor, whose cynical tone foreshadows the looming depression." In summation, "Grand Hotel richly contrasts comedy, tragedy, glitz, and realism and is sure to captivate both your actors and audiences." AUDITIONS are open to all in the community, and will take place Monday September 22nd and Tuesday September 23rd in room ARTS 1E1.
