BURLINGTON, ON
In a news story earlier this week we said: “Burlington may not be ready for this.”
The statement had to do with a production being put on virtually by the Performing Arts Centre that involved the City Manager and the Executive Director of the Burlington Downtown Business Association.
They were part of the cast for a reading of the play The Odd Couple that was a Broadway production and then a movie that is still being enjoyed. It was a good movie.
In an effort to bring some entertainment life to the city Tammy Fox, Executive Director of the Performing Arts Centre put together an idea and managed to convince several well known entertainers to take part and added in some local colour.
Given that City Manager Tim Commisso and BDBA Executive Director Brian Dean were featured it seemed like an opportunity to have some light hearted fun and use photographs in our files to show Commisso and Dean as “fun” guys.
Some took exception to what we had published.
Commisso and Dean along with other Burlington personalities have what might be called supporting roles. The hope is that they will perform their reading admirably.
The Performing Arts Centre has arranged for all the front line support workers free access to the online production. The Show Business people call this “sharing the love”.
We expect it to be a fun evening and anticipate with a measure of excitement on just how well Commisso and Dean will perform.
Pepperwoods has put together a take out offering – make it an evening when you don’t have to cook.
