Rooney and Punyi Productions are producing a special street performance to coincide with St. Albert’s 150th anniversary.
The performances are based on re-creations of many St. Albert historical personalities. Many have had streets named after them. Playgoers will board buses that take them to local streets where they can meet the character for whom the street is named. The last stop on the tour is a meet and greet with Father Albert Lacombe.
Performances, some of which will be indoors, will take place Monday, May 30, Sunday, June 12 and Canada Day.
Eight male actors and one female actor are needed. Actors will be required to memorize monologues, attend rehearsals and project well in open-air theatre venues. All ages are welcome.
Auditions will be held on Sunday, April 3 with Maureen Rooney at 5 Stanley Dr. from 1 to 4 p.m.
The Edmonton Jewish Film Festival is back at Metro Cinema on April 3 and 4. It will screen six award-winning foreign language films.
In the line-up are two comedies: A Matter of Size and This is Sodom, as well as two dramas: The Secrets and Eichmann’s End. Rounding out the program are two documentaries Yes, Miss Commander and The Last Survivor.
Single tickets are $10 and a festival pass is $50. Call 780-420-1757 or visit www.tixonthesquare.ca.
There are a few fresh faces at Mark Ammar’s Open Stage this coming Tuesday. Sweden’s Ulf Johansson (bass), Blaine Doherty (guitar/vocals) and Sean Grieve work their mojo for an evening of funky grooves.
With diverse influences coming from Steppenwolf, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and B. B. King, the evening has full-throttle rock-funk-jazz feel.
In a special nod to blues, Johansson will be playing his Rickenbacker bass. The jam starts at p.m. at 23 Akins Dr. There is no cover charge.
