Pre St. Paddys Show with the Pat Chessell Band

Category: Music & Live Entertainment
Event Date: Mar 9th, 2013
Starting: 7:30 pm

Just in time for St.Paddys, the Pat Chessell Band will be firing up Blue Frog Studios for a foot-stomping good time. Known for his high energy performances, Chessell performed more than 200 times in 2011 alone, as well as being the featured act in the Irish Pavilion during the 2010 Winter Olympics. His passionate, smoky vocals are complemented by Celtic fuelled sounds that stretch into influences of roots, blues and country. 2008 saw the release of a live album entitled ‘Live and Lusty’. In February 2012, Chessell released his debut single – ‘Drunk In Exile’ – which was co-written by Chessell and Tiller’s Folly’s Bruce Coughlan.

From concert halls to corporate shows, Pat Chessell’s performances have proven to be a hit with audiences of all ages. He has toured from BC to New York, and everywhere in between. This will be a CD release concert of his great new album, “Lullabies and Battle Cries”.

Come and join the frivolity as Blue Frog turns green and sets up as an Irish Pub for one night only!

Agnes of God opened last weekend to rave reviews. Here is what Alex Browne of the Peace Arch News has to say about our production.

“Agnes portrays power of pure theatre”

Check out the full review here.

http://www.peacearchnews.com/entertainment/195708521.html

We are proudly presenting four more performances of this riveting Tony award winning drama. If your in the mood for theatre that stirs the soul, head down to the Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock.

Summoned to a convent, Dr. Martha Livingstone, a court-appointed psychiatrist, is charged with assessing the sanity of a novice accused of murdering her newborn. Miriam Ruth, the Mother Superior, determinedly keeps young Agnes from the doctor, arousing Livingstone’s suspicions further. Who killed the infant and who fathered the tiny victim? Livingstone’s questions force all three women to re-examine the meaning of faith and the power of love leading to a dramatic, compelling climax.

The White Rock Public Library will now be open on Sunday afternoons year-round as a result of White Rock City Council approving the 2013 – 2017 Financial Plan.

Traditionally, the library has only been open on Sundays from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. between Thanksgiving and Easter, which would have meant that the library would close on Sunday afternoons starting April 7, 2013 until Thanksgiving. With the new hours in effect, the library will now remain open on Sunday afternoons all year-round.

“The White Rock Library provides an important service to our community,” said Mayor Baldwin. “Extending their hours to include Sunday afternoons throughout the entire year will enable more residents to take advantage of this local resource.”

Councillor Helen Fathers, the City representative on the Fraser Valley Regional Library Board, has championed the idea for some time now.

“It has been a pleasure working with the FVRL over the last four years,” said Councillor Fathers. “I hope the new Sunday afternoon hours will allow library users that extra time to enjoy all that our library has to offer.”

“I would like to thank the City of White Rock for opening the library year-round on Sunday afternoons,” said David Thiessen, Manager, Township of Langley and White Rock Libraries, with Fraser Valley Regional Library. “I am very pleased with this decision, as I have received far more requests from White Rock residents for this increase in hours than I have for anything else.”

The White Rock Public Library offers a wide variety of books, magazines, CDs, videos, and programs to satisfy all ages. In addition to book clubs, author readings and regular Philosopher’s Café, it also offers a regular drop in chess club, laughter yoga, and a large assortment of adult and children’s programs.

To learn more about the FVRL visit them online at www.fvrl.bc.ca.
