ALKALINE Powers Up Live Performances at The Port Theatre
Jeff Brunet, Concert promoter and owner of Alkaline Entertainment had 5 things on his To Do List for the Port Theatre on Montreal Road in Cornwall and with the help of Lucie Hart, Chair of Citizens for The Port, countless volunteer hours and donations, 2 items are completed and 3 left to go. √ Inside Construction √ Adequate power for live performances New Stage Theatre Marquee to be lit up again Dressing Rooms restored for acts
Walking in to the Port today was like visiting with an old friend, a very comfortable feeling and I’m sure that is the way 350 people who came here last Friday to see the first live show in 60 years, “Ring of Fire”, a Johny Cash Experience felt. The show was brought here by Jeff Brunet who says, “I finally found a place to call home and bring live entertainment to.” Glenn MacGillivray, owner of The Port Theatre, had a big smile on his face as the future of the theatre is certainly looking bright. Jeff, who has been in the music business since 1993 has many more acts lined up. The Port will be the place have popcorn and a beer while seeing concerts like the “Hardworking Man”, (Brooks & Dunne Tribute) scheduled for Saturday, September 22 and in October, “Comfortably Numb”, ( Pink Floyd Tribute). Also look out for Dr. Hook, The Stampeders and Trooper among others.
