Daybreak on stage (and sort-of on the air)!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a great long weekend and is enjoying the lovely beginnings of fall weather! We've had some gorgeous days to punctuate the few less-stellar ones, and this coming weekend looks promising!

I have some VERY exciting news for Daybreak fans. We have a special event coming up this Friday, September 9th in Prince Rupert. The whole gang (except for me, I'm too pregnant! sigh...) will be at the Tom Rooney Playhouse for a Daybreak live show! Here are the details:

Your locked out CBC staff from Prince Rupert and Prince George will be back in action for one night to present you with Daybreak After Dark! We take ourmorning show to the live stage with Russell Bowers and James Evans as your hosts. We’ll be entertaining you with some of Prince Rupert’s finest talent in music, theatre and poetry, as well as letting you know what’s happening with the lock-out. The event will take place at the Tom Rooney Playhouse on September the 9th starting at 8:00 pm.

Performers include: Prince Rupert’s singer/songwriter Sall Gibson as well as newcomers to Prince Rupert’s music scene Tom and Kate. Leanne Boschman-Epp will be performing a sound poem. David Smook will be leading the local improv troupe in some live comedy, and Rudy Kelly will be providing a solo commentary. There will be our ever so popular trivia contest with a mug give away and the Good Question Lady will be making an appearance. All this will be happening in the support of your local Canadian Media Guild members who have been locked out since August 15 by CBC management and this show will be dedicated to our dear and loyal listeners.

Many people have donated their time and equipment to make this event happen, and to show our appreciation, we are making this a free event.Digital Printing and Creations has donated their services for this event. The Harbour Theatre Society has donated the space at the Tom Rooney Playhouse. Cowpuccino's Coffee House has provided the event with coffee and Baker Boy is supplying us with donations of donuts for the show.

Also this show will be airing on CFUR 88.7fm, Prince George’s Campus Community radio station, in the near future. Go to www.cfur.ca for more details.
