■ JUDY RUSSELL PRODUCTION
A Christmas Carol a call to the pastFamiliar faces return to Prince George stage in Dickens’ classic
Charles’ Dickens’ timeless story of a selfish and miserly old grouch who sees the light before it’s too late after being visited by three ghosts is com-ing to the stage at the Prince George Playhouse in Decem-ber.
In many ways, Judy Russell’s latest production of the much-loved A Christmas Carol will be revisited with “voices from the past” as several cast members are actors who have not been on the musical theatre stage for years. For instance, Russell brought longtime Prince George actor Gary Chappel “out of hid-ing” and enticed him to play the lead role of Ebenezer Scrooge.
“I’ve been trying to get Gary back on stage for years and this part was juicy enough to get this talented Josie Smith-trained actor to commit to treading the boards once again,” she said. “He is sure to delight the audi-ence as he skilfully takes his well-known character through the journey of Christmas past, present and future.”
Cindy Larsen Marcotte, who truly is a voice from Russell’s past, will portray Scrooge’s ghost (memories) of Christmas Past.
“Cindy has not been in a major role since she played Peter in our production of the beloved musical Peter Pan in 2003. She dons an ethereal role as she gen-tly guides Scrooge through his memories of Christmas Past,” said Russell.
This seasonal play is also the first time Anna Russell will do the adaptation and direct a show in Prince George. Hailing from Saskatoon, Anna trained at the Canadian College of Per-forming Arts in Victoria. She worked as a professional actress and producer before moving to Prince George with her hus-band Matt Russell (Judy’s son), who manages the Prince George Playhouse.
“After giving birth to a bounc-ing baby boy Henry, Anna has taken on this timeless classic with excitement and is work-ing hard with her amateur cast of 50 local performers to bring joy to all this Christmas,” said Russell.
There are also some newcom-ers to Russell’s theatrical team. The heartwarming and endear-
ing roles of Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit are played by 12-year-old Cecil McCrae and Prince George Public Library librarian Jeff Kozoris. They are joined by well-known actors like Mark Wheeler.
“Mark is wonderful, jolly and uplifting as Ghost of Christ-mas Present,” says Russell. “He truly embodies the richness of this role and is very believable as a character who manages through joy and misery to steer his reluctant student Scrooge towards a path of redemption.”
Matt Russell is fulfilling a childhood dream in taking on the challenging role of Jacob Marley.
“Matt loved watching his grandfather Alex Murry play this role and he grew up watch-ing the classic movie version of A Christmas Carol every Christ-mas Eve.”
The entire cast of Judy Rus-sell’s production of A Christmas Carol is filled with longtime performers and young first-time theatre enthusiasts.
Old Joe is played by actor Phil Childs, who directed Prince George Theatre Workshop’s production of the musical ver-sion of A Christmas Carol titled The Stingiest Man in Town.
“The performance took place at the Playhouse in 1972 and in that presentation, a very young Gary Chappel, who plays this production’s lead role was a young man in the chorus, and [TV personality] Catherine Han-sen McCarthy was a little girl in the dancing scenes. Catherine, who has played many major roles, plays The Laundress and several bit parts in this produc-tion and she is enjoying having her little girl Sophie in some of the scenes with her.”
They are joined by commu-nity players Dwight Wolfe, Bev-erly Smith, Jim Anderson, Kaye Trepanier, Lori Cruddas Nei-dermeyer, Krista Dunlop, Quin McGowan, lots of children and maybe even Judy Russell along with other talented perform-ers will be taking the stage in this classic and timeless tale of Christmas long ago.
Tickets for Judy Russell pres-ents A Christmas Carol are on sale at Studio 2880. Doors open at 7 p.m. Curtain at 7:30 p.m. Two shows Saturday matinees, doors open at 1:30 p.m. Curtain at 2 p.m. Dec. 14 and 15 and Dec. 18 through 22.

Carol Whetter had a whale of a time creating her Podcast exhibit.
Nine pieces of her work are now on display, along with drawings and carvings by Greg Bra-dacs, in a new exhibit called Shades of Life.
The exhibit opened with an artists’ talk and reception Nov. 15 and it is on display until Jan. 15 in the new gallery space at Studio 2880.
Whetter’s drawings are done on art paper, then mounted on repurposed metal printing press sheets. The idea for her subject matter, whales, came from a few places – and one per-son.
“I grew up on the East Coast where I could see the Atlantic Ocean. So I guess it is in my DNA,” said Whetter. “My mother was born in the 1930s and she was a big radio listener. I got that from her. I just love listening to CBC Radio podcasts.”
Whetter moved across the country to Vancou-ver in 1985 and, in 1993, came to live in Prince George. Her career path also contributed to the theme in her most recent exhibit.
“I spent most of my life in communications,” she said. “I’ve worked in sales, marketing and hospitality and when I was making my art for Podcasts, I realized that it all had to do with communications.”
In her artist’s state-ment, Whetter says:
“I have a thing for Jian Ghomeshi, the host of the CBC radio program Q. Before him, I loved Peter Gzowski – and they aren’t my only CBC crushes. They fascinate me because these lucky folks get to engage in conver-sations that intro-duce me to all kinds of people. This made my own meeting with Canadian art superstar Norman Yates seem normal, almost.”
Whetter said she got the idea of blend-ing her two pleasures – art and listening to the CBC, from Yates when he was at Two Rivers Gallery giving
an artist’s talk to Fine Arts students at UNBC and College of New Caledonia.
“He said he put on CBC to occupy his logical brain and that freed his creative mind to work unfettered by internal chatter. If it worked for Norman, it might work for me.”
As Whetter listened to a podcast and needed to decide on the subject, whales seemed the right choice, she said.
“I thought about how they communicate with their songs and that led me to thinking about communications generally: soundwaves, sym-bols, binary code and intuition.
“When you look at the pieces in Podcast, the drawings may remind you of those from Moby Dick. That’s intentional. It fits with the printing press thing going on.”
The artist said when she showed up for work each day in her studio, she felt as if she “shared space with Ghomeshi, Fran Lebowitz, Billy Cor-gan, J.K. Rowling and several musical acts.”
“By listening, I reaffirmed that each of us has a story to tell, a song to sing. In the Great Cos-mic Ocean, I believe we are all member of the same pod.”
The Community Arts Council presents Shades of Life with works by Carol Whetter and Greg Bradacs.
The exciting new exhibit will be on display at Studio 2880 on 15th Ave. from November 15 to January 15.

Two Rivers Gal-lery has installed a suite of new sculp-tures in its Sculpture Court produced by Victoria-based artists Samuel and Deryk Houston and Indi-ana-based sculptor David Kocka.
The works will be on display until next spring when they will go to their perma-nent home at Deryk
Houston’s Peace Sanctuary Sculpture Park in Hudson’s Hope, B.C.
Deryk Houston is a Scottish art-ist who has exhib-ited internationally in one-man exhibi-tions in Canada, the U.S., Scotland, Iraq and the former Soviet Union. His work was featured in the documentary
film From Baghdad to Peace Country by the National Film Board of Canada and he has completed ground art, earthen works in Iraq, Can-ada and Scotland in support of children’s rights.
“Two Rivers Gal-lery is thrilled to have been able to borrow this suite of sculptures,” said
curator George Har-ris. “Deryk and Sam-uel Houston’s stark and monolithic stain-less steel structure is the smallest of three similar forms that will eventually be installed in the Hud-son’s Hope Peace Sanctuary Sculpture Park. A comparison with David Kocka’s work which is shown alongside is a study in contrast.
“Kocka’s The Children’s Inter-national Peace and Harmony Statue is a representational bronze sculpture, it represents a group of children playing together in the spirit of friendship.
“Together these sculptures repre-sent a diversity of approaches towards are making that embodies and cel-ebrates difference which seems very appropriate in the context of their final destination in Hous-ton’s Peace Sanctu-ary Sculpture Park.”

The Rotary Club of Yellowhead Prince George is hosting its fourth annual Taste of India event – a fundraiser that becomes more popular each year.
“Each year we see more and more people embracing the culture of the event and wearing traditional Indian clothing and it’s a beautiful sight to see,” said key organizer Sonica Kan-dola.
“This year we will be featuring some amazing entertainment: From Delhi to Dublin, a Vancou-ver-based band that combines Celtic music with Bhangra beats.”
Delhi to Dublin features Andrew Kim, electric sitar, guitar; Ravi Binning, tabla, dhol; San-jay Seran, vocals; Sara Fitzpatrick, fiddle; and Tarun Nayer, DJ/producer, always put on a high-energy show.
Tracks from their 2007 and 2008 albums have enjoyed lots of air play on radio stations from Japan, the U.S. and Europe.
In keeping with past events, this year’s Taste of India includes a cocktail reception with tasty Indian appetizers, silent and live auction as well as a full Indian buffet dinner, entertain-ment and dancing.
“Due to its success, it has become an annual fundraiser for our club. To date we have raised $120,000,” said Kandola.
Money raised in past years has gone to sup-port School District 57 Prince George Meals program, Prince George Kordyban Cancer Lodge Wig Room, Amreli, India Education and Sanitation project to provide clean water, desks and washrooms for two schools as well as the Rotary International Polio Eradication Program which is a 25-year project that has seen 25 bil-lion children immunized and polio eradicated in all but three countries.
Rotary is the world’s premier international humanitarian service organization, a diverse global network of community, business and professional leaders who address relevant social causes to change lives and build goodwill and peace at home and abroad.
“Our club is embracing this philosophy with the Taste of India by honouring and supporting both a local and international cause every year that we believe will benefit not only from the monies received but to help build and sustain peace, health and a stronger community,” said Kandola.
The Rotary Club of Yellowhead Prince George Taste of India event is on Saturday, Feb. 16 and tickets sell out early. Tickets are $90 per person (includes HST) and tables of 10 can be booked. Tickets on sale only at RK Furniture Gallery, 1050 Victoria St.

The Coldsnap Music Festival has unveiled its 2013 lineup.
The event kicks off Jan. 18 at the Ramada Ballroom with an indie dance night featuring summer festival favou-rites Shred Kelly, ris-ing Vancouver music stars Current Swell, and Prince George Idol winner Chazz Amos.
On Jan. 19 Eclectic Funky Celtic Night with Gaelic singer
Andrew McFayden, the raucous King Crow and the Ladies from Hell, who hail from Terrace, and award-winning musician Troy MacGillvray.
On Sunday, the event moves to the Prince George Play-house for an intimate evening of Aboriginal Artists. Don Amero is a star in the Winnipeg music scene and Diyet is a contemporary
aboriginal artist who is focused on removing the barriers and stereo-types that face modern aboriginal people.
Monday and Tues-day will showcase local talent with a line-up still to be finalized. Both shows will be at Artspace.
Jan. 23 sees the return of past festival favourites Dala and the arrival of the You-Tube finger-picking
guitar sensation Ewan Dobson of Toronto.
On Thursday, singer-songwriter Jake Mor-ley of the U.K. arrives to share his soulful funky sounds and then Matt Epp takes the stage to bear the torch of past Canadian songwriting greats like Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell.
The folk festival gets folksy when husband and wife duo Pharis and Jason Romero of Horsefly, B.C. share their captivating sound at the Prince George Playhouse followed by the lively Daniel Lapp Trio, making a return to Prince George for the show-stealing fid-dler.
Coldsnap ends where it began at the Ramada Ballroom when Coldsnap part-ners with Le Cercle des Canadiens Fran-cais de Prince George for Danse, Danse, Danse, an evening of French-Canadian folk music with Vazzy and the Quebecois musical treasure Yves Lam-
bert. There will also be
workshops around town and additional performances to be announced.
Tickets for Coldsnap concerts are on sale at Books and Com-pany, Studio 2880 and UNBC. For more infor-mation visit coldsnap-festival.com.

All affected by someone living with HIV/AIDS
“You’re never too young to learn about HIV – protect yourself.”
HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can
contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and
by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years
without you knowing and all the while you can be passing
it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+
do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be
responsible for 75 per cent of new infections.
Northern Health, in collaboration with its community
partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent
the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment,
and support services to British Columbians.
Educate yourself, your family and your friends
about HIV. Visit HIV101.ca today.Educate: The only way to know you are not positive is by
getting tested. Request an HIV test today.Test: Please share your new knowledge about HIV
with others, and please encourage everyone
to get an HIV test.
