Belle Gala launches opening By Murray Green
Prior to the opening night of Beauty and the Beast by Churchmice Players, a Belle of the Ball Gala will be held at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on February 3 beginning at 6:30 p.m. “Holding a gala has been really challenging for us because we can’t serve food and drinks. Tania Greenwald from The Sweeterie by Cute and Classy Cakes has donated coupons for various treats as a sponsor. We are hoping that everyone can go home with something, depending on how many people attend opening night. So far, tickets for the shows have been selling well,” said Janine Carroll, marketing director for Churchmice Players. “We don’t know what to expect for audiences, but the staff at the Lougheed Centre, our cast and crew are taking every safety precaution they can to make this a safe event,” added Janine. “It is a challenging time, but everyone is so looking forward to be able to perform again. We missed a year of having shows and fun.” Maya Rathnavalu and Art Fadum, a musical duo called Maya ’n’ Art, will be performing at the Belle of the Ball Gala. They will be performing as people come in for the show. “We hope that everyone dresses up like they are going to a ball. We want everyone to be excited about going to the gala on opening night on February 3,” said Janine. “We are hoping to have a surprise event, but it depends on COVID-19 restrictions,” shared Janine. “We are happy with the way ticket sales are going. We are very close to where we were at, in the same time period, with Mamma Mia!, which set records for Churchmice Players,” she said. This version is filled with charming musical numbers, delightful dancing, endearing and amusing characters in full costume, wonder and magic. The Churchmice Players will be performing Beauty and the Beast, with evening shows on February 3 to 6 and February 9 to 12 at 7:30 p.m. A matinee will be held on February 6 and 12 at 1:30 p.m.
