Local Arts

Cindy Klassen is having a stand-up kind of week.

You're going to have the time of your life and then some, according to one of the stars of Dirty Dancing. The stage show that's coming to CN Centre this week is not exactly a recital of the movie that swept the world in 1987.

A book was launched this past weekend burning like a comet tail from Saturday's National Day of Mourning for workers killed or injured on the job.

The 2018 Leo Awards announced their nominees' list and northern B.C. is in the frame. The Leos are the trophies for B.C.

A favourite local musician is as famous for his sincere warmth as for his unique compostions, and now Doug "The Hug" Koyama is feeling the love of his fellow performers. Koyama is undergoing cancer treatments.

There were three musketeers, and look how famous they became. Imagine if there were twice as many.

My daughter dreamed of Crystal last night. She's six, and the Cirque du Soleil performance she saw was so powerful, her mind was still blown the next morning when she woke up talking about it.

Cirque du Soleil is in Prince George today with one of their most unique productions in a history built on unique productions. The show Crystal opens tonight for a run of seven shows between now and Sunday.

The trucks are arriving. The first half-dozen were at the back door of CN Centre by Monday morning and a total of 18 will convoy through the loading bay by the time Cirque du Soleil opens the front doors Wednesday.

The 12 jurors may be angry, but 12 actors are thrilled.
