The Music in the Landing stint at the Heritage Playhouse in Gibsons has been extended for another two weeks. Producer Verna Chan is actively fundraising for the extra Saturday night concerts, which are simulcast on Facebook and Eastlink Community Cable on Saturday evenings. The Town of Gibsons funded the initial four shows, which end May 30 with a performance by Bud and Heidi Kurz, aka Double Treble, with their Celtic-to-classic repertoire. The two extra shows will feature The Burying Ground on June 6, and Joel Fafard on June 13.
Coyote Science
If you’re looking for fun, age-appropriate and creative TV shows for kids aged 8 to 11, check out Coyote’s Crazy Smart Science Show on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (channel 53 on Eastlink and 9125 on Telus). Gibsons-based film and TV producer Loretta Sarah Todd films much of the series at a farm in Roberts Creek.
The series is in its second season and new shows can be seen on weekends until the end of July.
