Bank Theatre presenting ‘All You Need Is Love’ LEAMINGTON — With one year passed since shut down by the province due to COVID-19, The Bank Theatre continues to find ways to bring the arts to you in the safety of your home. A finalist in the ‘Tourism Windsor Essex Best Of’ for Best Virtual Performance with their 12 Days of Christmas series, All You Need Is Love Spring Fling is certain to be a ‘must see’ event. Hosted by Corey Robertson, President of The Bank Theatre, the four virtual concerts over four days celebrate love and a return to spring. Robertson gets up close and personal with each couple about love. The concerts feature four performing couples from this area, all performing for your enjoyment. They run from March 25 through 28, from 7 pm to 7:30 pm each evening. On Thursday, March 25, you’ll see Kari Lynn and Roger Hewett. On Friday, March 26, you’ll be treated to the musical talents of the Fontaines. On night three — Saturday, March 27 — you’ll get a front row virtual seat for the Mary & Richard concert. The final concert brings you Leamington’s Jody Raffoul and Bridget Opfer. “These couples are well known in Leamington for their talent. But what
you may not know is how they met and fell in love.” Robertson said. “We get to the heart of that with each couple and that is the real story here.” Programming member John Moran, who takes care of the audio and lights said, “Originally, this was being filmed as a Valentine’s Day series, but protocols put us into the gray zone, so we had to postpone filming until we went back into red status. The musicians rolled right along with us and are pros at what they do.” Robertson agreed, saying, “Venues have taken a huge hit since this began. Venues were the first to close for the safety of patrons, performers, and our volunteers and they will be the last to fully reopen. Performers have lost their livelihoods and although we’ve paid them for this performance, it doesn’t really pay the bills for anyone in these times. Like us, they’ve lost an entire year of dollars coming in.” All You Need Is Love Spring Fling Virtual Concerts is a virtual pass-the-hat event. Pay what you can or a suggested donation of $20, OR a $50 donation gives the patron a safely delivered Bank Theatre swag bag. The series premiere’s on The Bank Theatre Facebook page and YouTube
channel at 7 pm each night. Donations and more information can be found at www.banktheatre.com . All You Need Is Love Spring Fling was filmed live and pre-recorded at The Bank Theatre by Gary Glass of Quantum Sound Productions.
