Lang is one of the Coast's hidden gems. Given the title The First Lady of Folk, she is a veteran singer/ songwriter who performs worldwide and lives in Madeira Park.
101 Art
To usher in the New Year, 101 Office Supply on Cowrie Street in Sechelt is featuring works by artist-photographer Jone Pane. She is an active participant in the local art scene, with a career going back many years. She has had her photographs on display at the Vancouver Art Gallery, and was given a place in a permanent collection at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at the University of British Columbia and the National Film Board. The project now on display features hyper-realistic images inspired by her own flower garden as well as large-format colour field studies. This show runs until the end of January.
London Theatre
Raven's Cry Theatre presents The Magistrate on Thursday, Jan. 17, at 7 p.m. from the National Theatre in London that continues to broadcast live performances to cinemas worldwide.
The respectable life of an upstanding magistrate (John Lithgow) crumbles into hilarious disarray in this fast moving farce. A pioneering figure of the late Victorian and Edwardian stage, playwright Pinero is best known for his farces. Superbly constructed and richly entertaining, their enduring appeal is testament to his brilliant eye for human absurdity and his sheer stagecraft. Tickets are $15 (general/senior) and $10 (child 17 years and under). Please do not bring children under the age of six. To have your tickets held for you, call the theatre at 604-885-4597.
Tuesday deadline
Let me know about your arts event by 5 p.m. Tuesday for Friday's paper. Email [email protected] or phone 604-886-4692. Keep it brief, please.
