BACKSTAGE ‘99 Selling Out Fast!

Don't Miss Out on the Hottest
BACKSTAGE Ever!

Registrations are pouring in from all over the province by e-mail, snail mail, fax, phone and in person. Call and have a brochure sent to you if you haven’t received one yet or check out our web site at
www.theatrebc.org/Backstage.

The fabulous line up of instructors includes: Morris Panych, Ken MacDonald, Martin Kinch, Garry Davey, Joan MacLeod, Sally Clark and, of course, everyone’s favourite Nicholas Harrison.

If you are coming to BACKSTAGE or even if you are not, do you have any workshops you would like us to conduct for the teenagers in your family next year? We have a Youth component again this year and we would like to develop this area to build up our talent pool of young theatre-lovers. What a great pastime for people from all walks of life.

Again this year, our Opening Reception will be held on Friday, November 12 at the Granville Island Brewing Company at the entrance to busy and exhilarating Granville Island in Vancouver. All registrants, volunteers and instructors are invited to come down at 7:30 pm to meet and mingle with our Honorary Patron, Donna Spencer, Artistic Producer of the Firehall Arts Centre in Vancouver, pick up their registration packages, hear speeches of welcome, eat, drink and mingle. A great send off to an exciting weekend of workshops in the performing arts.

We can guarantee you’ll have a great time at BACKSTAGE ‘99, but we can’t guarantee you a space unless you ACT NOW!!

Register online with VISA or MasterCard. Check out www.TheatreBC.org/Backstage.
