Re: Cabin Fever Daze

Hi Ingrid,

 

The Write On writers' group met last night and the following plan has been adopted for action.

 

The event will be a variety show called Cabin Fever Daze, subtitled Verse & Worse, and will take place in the Theatre at Centre 64 on Friday, February 18th, starting at 7.30 p.m. The entertainment plan is to include readings of poetry and prose, songs and instrumental music, comedy sketches and other as yet undefined performances by local amateur musicians, singers, actors, and writers. The event will be preceded by a reception in the Gallery at Centre 64 offering suitable refreshments which will also be available during the show's intermission.

 

The event will be organized on behalf of the Kimberley Arts Council by an organizing committee composed of members of the Write On writers' group, which is an ad hoc group that meets every second Tuesday to share members' writings under the auspices of the Kimberley Arts Council literary arts programs committee, of which I am currently the default chair.

 

Admission prices to Cabin Fever Daze have not yet been determined but will probably be kept as low as possible, sufficient to cover costs and perhaps make a donation to an appropriate cause, such as the expansion of Centre 64. This will be decided by the organizing committee which will meet next Tuesday to develop plans for the event.

 

I hope this information is sufficient for your purposes and I thank you for providing this opportunity to get the word out early.

 

Mike

Thanks Mike -

I've arranged with Maurice and Jenny from GO Kimberley to hold things open until next Wed evening, so if we could plan to touch base on Wed morning after the writers' group meeting, that would work really well.

Would that work with your schedule?

Hi Ingrid,

Currently Cabin Fever Daze is in the conception stage. The Write On writers' group meets next Tuesday evening at which time we will select a date and time and firm up the contents of the event. For now I can tell you it will be a literary and musical event, possibly subtitled "Verse & Worse", in which local poets and writers, actors and musicians, will entertain in the Theatre at Centre 64.

If you send me a reminder next Wednesday I'll fill in you in on as many details as I can. I'm out of town for the next four days so can do nothing earlier than that, I'm afraid. I hope this will be in time for your next issue of GO Kimberley.

Hi Mike,

I'd love to learn a bit more about what's planned with this event - as it would be great to include it in the general write up of the arts I'm doing for the winter issue of GO Kimberley.

Give me a shout when you have a chance - 250-520-0059

Cheers,
Ingrid
