I attended on behalf of Oak Bay and the Royal & McPherson Theatres Society Board, the launch of the Society’s 2014 Centennial Celebration, “celebrating and honouring Victoria’s unique cultural legacy, the 100th birthdays of Victoria’s two civic theatres, the Royal Theatre and the McPherson Playhouse.”
As the media release states, the Centennial Celebration is designed “to honour this pair of landmark buildings and the extraordinary impact they have had on Victoria’s cultural life.” The Centennial Celebration runs from May 18 – 25, 2014 and includes some amazing talent and performances from such icons as Crystal Pite, Ben Heppner, Daniel Lapp, Chris Bottie and the Victoria Symphony, to name just a few.
Please support this Centennial Celebration and get your Festival tickets, on sale as of November 14, 2013 at the McPherson Box Office at 250-386-6121 or available online at rm100.ca Please also visit this website for regular updates. It should be an exciting and entertaining week in May!
