Last week a few of us spontaneously went to see a little gem of a musical at Pacific Theatre at 12th Ave. just off Granville. Based on compiled work of Kander and Ebb, it is called The World Goes 'Round.
One of the 5 talented young actors/singers/dancers turned out to be the niece of one of our residents. The picture (courtesy Jessie van Rijn) shows Jennifer Neumann in a dramatic rendition of All That Jazz from the musical, Chicago.

And then, a couple of night's later I was watching the movie, Elegy, when a familiar face breifly flashed on the screen. Auntie Sue, was that you? Since the movie was shot in Vancouver I think I was not mistaken. So we can see where niece comes by her acting talent. Or is it the other way around?
We thoroughly enjoyed the evening - and agreed that we would look out for further theatrical treats. If you want to be added to the nortification list for future theatre outings, email me.
