Neelin High School presents: Singin’ in the Rain

The "Greatest Movie Musical of All Time" is faithfully and lovingly adapted by Broadway legends, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, from their original award-winning screenplay in Singin' in the Rain. Each unforgettable scene, song and dance is accounted for, including the show-stopping title number, complete with an onstage rainstorm! Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards make Singin' in the Rain the perfect entertainment for any fan of the golden age of movie musicals. Singin' in the Rain has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline – the starlet, the leading man and a love affair that could change lives and make or break careers! In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item but, behind the scenes, things aren't always as they appear on the big screen! Meanwhile, Lina's squeaky voice might be the end of her career in "talking pictures" without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her. Filled with every memorable moment from the film and a downpour of unforgettable songs, Singin' in the Rain is a guaranteed hit. The technical elements of this show are challenging but well worth the effort when the audience will be left leaping to their feet. Three extraordinary roles for dancers and a tour de force comedic turn make this a perfect choice for Neelin High School with their abundance of talent ready to shine. Location: WMCA Thursday, November 30 - 7:30pm Friday, December 1 - 7:30pm Saturday, December 2 - 2:00pm Saturday, December 2 - 7:30pm

The Comedy Invasion to hold benefit comedy show

The Comedy Invasion Presents Big Daddy Tazz & Friends to Support 4 Year Old Cayden Cross and his battle against Muscular Dystrophy.  Big Daddy Tazz, James Mullinger, Scott Porteous and Nelson Mayer headline "The Comedy Invasion" at the WMCA on Thursday, January 25th.  Show time is 8:00 pm. Cayden was born on February 15th, 2013. The young boy experienced many health problems right from the start. These problems included respiratory & cardiac issues as well as feeding difficulties and was immediately placed on a ventilator and various monitors/IV's to monitor his condition. Cayden was even given caffeine to help stop his heart from spontaneously stopping. He would spend the first 26 days of his life in the hospital before going home with his loving family on Wednesday, March 13th. On August 7th, 2013 doctors confirmed that Cayden had Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy - a form of Muscular Dystrophy. The disease horribly affects every system in his body to some extent, some worse than others. Myotonic Dystrophy is a Neuromuscular Disorder which occurs when the protein inside the DNA repeat itself. 5-37 repeats of protein is considered "normal". In Caydens case, his protein repeats itself 1500 times which is why the disease affects him so severely. Coincidentally, Caydens mother Angela also has a form of Muscular Dystrophy. Although Angela's is not as severe as her sons, her protein repeat count is 500. Her doctors have also told her as she gets older, her symptoms from the disease could worsen. Currently Cayden is unable to walk, crawl, stand or talk but that does not stop him from enjoying the same things other children his age love to do. He loves playing with toys, listening to music, occasionally dancing to the music, shopping, going for walks, reading books and car rides. A percentage of the proceeds made on this night will be donated to Cayden Cross' mother and father to make life easier for Cayden with essentials such as: swimming lessons, music lessons and gym membership so he can ride his bike on the track at the Healthy Living Centre. This also helps keep up his therapy. There are also long terms goals such as: lift system for the bath/shower and home modifications to help make Caydens life easier. 4 Comedians 1 Cause ~BIG LAUGHS, BIGGER DREAMS~ Tickets are just $25 each. Available through Ryan Pandolfi, Western Manitoba Centennial Auditorium and North Shore Outfitters. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
