JENNIFER LANG Around Town Anniversary show IF YOU'VE ever wanted to be part of a Ter- race Little Theatre production, there’s never been a better time to get involved. The TLT is planning a special production for Terrace’s 75th anniversary, an English pan- tomime based on the original rags to riches fairy tale, Cinderella. Producer Marianne Weston says the show will feature a number of surprise cameo roles. Local celebrities who like to ham it up are de- finitely encouraged to sign up. The TLT first staged the pantomime version af Cinderella back in 1976. Two well-known faces, George Clark and Ken Morton were cast as the Ugly Step Sis- ters. Now it's time to revisit the classic by mak-~ ing it locally relevant, offering audiences the chance to have a laugh as they reminisce about the history of the little theatre, she says. “Anyone with talent in the singing, acting, comedy, slapstick and humour department are heartily welcome to contact us,” Weston says. “We have room for one and all.” Weston says she’s hopeful old timers and long time area residents will become involved with the production by supplying anecdotes and stories that can be incorporated into the Cinderella tale. There are plenty of chances to get involved behind the scenes, too. Set, costume and light- ing designers are needed, along with a choreo- grapher, a community band, carpenters and seamstresses. If you'd like to be part of the TLT’s special Terrace anniversary pantomime, call stage manager Nancy at 635-1329 or Marianne at 635-2942.

A gift for Terrace A DEDICATED -- and talented - group of quil- ters has completed work on a special gift to Terrace commemorating its 75th anniversary. The Skeena Valley Quilters have created a charming wall hanging that will be on display at Fabricland from April 7 to 21, The wall hang- ing is constructed from fabric that was donated by Fabricland, as was the drapery rod used to hang it. The wall hang- ing depicts var- ious scenes that are representative of Terrace’s first 75 years, There’s are colourful pa- nels of a riverboat, the Old Bridge, and a Ker- mode bear, for example. There’s even a panel showing a house submerged by the great flood of 1936, The quilters (who include eight local arti- sans) first displayed the anniversary wall hanging at Quilt Day at the Masonic Hall. It will join the heritage display at the Terrace Art Gallery this June, when it will be presen- ted to the City of Terrace. The quilters hope it will be shown in Terraceview Lodge before its permanent home is decided upon.
