He can dig in; he can probe; he can make the instrument bark when the music calls for it. But his default seems to be the warm lyrical joy of lilting melody.”(Washington Post) Ian Parker has performed across the U.S., Europe, Israel and Canada, and has won the Grand Prize at the Canadian National Music Festival, the Corpus Christi International Competition, and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra Competition. “Parker is . . . basking in the national and international limelight.”(CBC).

Theatre And Dance A PICASSO, By Jeffrey Hatcher, Sunday, April 11, 3:00 PM, at the Capitol Port Hope, Directed by Robert Latimer-Cornell, Set in a vault beneath the streets of Paris during the Nazi Occupation in 1941, Pablo Picasso is interrogated by the beautiful and mysterious Miss Fischer who has been hired by the Gestapo. In this cat-and-mouse game of intrigue, Picasso is forced to authenticate three paintings, each assumed to be "a Picasso." In this timeless collision between art and politics, an enticing tension begins to mount with art, sex and the lure of power at its core. "Artful, remarkable and genuinely dramatic, with impressive sensitivity and wit." ~ New York Daily News. The Long Weekend by Norman Foster, DINNER THEATRE at The Best Western Cobourg Inn and Convention Centre, Cobourg, April 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30, May 1 (matinee and evening) and 2. A 15-year friendship is tested when two couples retreat to a remote weekend cottage. As hilarious truths and deceptions are revealed, the sparks begin to fly. This biting and inventive comedy offers plenty of surprises and twists along the way. The Long Weekend is a tremendously funny play. Its richly-drawn characters and sparkling dialogue are more than a match for anything that we've seen from Norm Foster before. The play serves up multitudes of laughs, showing us again why Foster is Canada's most produced playwright. TEA AT FIVE, By Matthew Lombardo, Sunday, May 16, 3:00 PM, at the Capitol, Port Hope, Directed by Robert Latimer-Cornell, Based on her book Me: Stories of My Life, TEA AT FIVE is an intimate look at the life of the legendary Broadway and screen actress Katharine Hepburn. The first act takes place in September 1938 when Hepburn is 31 years old. Despite Broadway appearances and her first Oscar (MORNING GLORY 1933), she has just been labeled "box office poison" after a series of film flops. She is awaiting a call to see if she has won the part of Scarlett O’Hara in a film called GONE WITH THE WIND. With her professional future in doubt, she contemplates her childhood in Hartford, her education and her start in show business. The second act takes place in February 1983, after Hepburn was injured in a car crash. Parkinson's disease has left her voice shaking, her hand clutching a cane, but her eyes still shining with intelligence, wit and the wisdom that informs a long life lived to the fullest. Now the 76 year-old star reflects on the triumphs of her career and her heart-breaking romance with Spencer Tracy. TEA AT FIVE is an unforgettable trip down Broadway, Hollywood Boulevard, and memory lane. What’s Coming? - At The

and features photographs taken by Jane Osmond during two mission
trips to Mpumalanga Province in South Africa in 2008 and 2009. at the 100 Mile Diner,
Warkworth. Osmond’ photography demonstrates a
broad palette of imagery: startling beauty, inexplicable joy, and
overwhelming contrasts. She
saw startling beauty in the African people, especially the children, as
well as in the wild animals in their natural habitat. Inexplicable joy
burst forth in spontaneous a cappella singing and dancing even while these
young people struggled to overcome adversity. There were overwhelming
contrasts in the rich and the poor, in modern shopping malls and country
markets, and in the beauty of the land. This African experience brought
tears and laughter, sorrow and joy. Until February
