Earth Hour variety show coming to Trinity

Earth Hour variety show coming to Trinity. IMPROV TEAM ROCKS: Actors from the Huntsville Community Theatre Group will put on a radio show in the dark to celebrate Earth Day.
HUNTSVILLE - Come out and play in the dark this earth hour.
A variety show, This Earth Hour Has 86 Minutes, will be performed on Saturday, March 31, at Trinity United Church in Huntsville starting at 7:30 p.m. Skits, monologues, live music and improv will fill the first half of the evening.
During the intermission, Trinity United Church’s Green Team will provide a variety of healthy snacks, and the lights will go out.
During the second half of the show, the Huntsville Community Theatre Company will perform by the light of solar lanterns and candles.
Two radio plays complete with sound effects will be performed live on stage.
One will be a suspense called Sorry, Wrong Number and the other is a classic comedy from the 1950s series My Favourite Husband, made famous by Lucille Ball. Altogether, this will give you 86 minutes of entertainment. Tickets are $15.
Net proceeds of the evening will be divided between the Huntsville Community Theatre Company, Trinity United Church and Transition Huntsville, a local grassroots group formerly known as the Huntsville Environment Group.
“We wanted to show the town that acknowledging our awareness of hydro use and celebrating Earth Hour could be fun. Both for the audience and our performers,” said Jan Jacklin, production  manager of the theatre company.
Skits and monologues will be performed by James Carroll, Steven Jacklin, Greg Perras and Emilie Berry. Music by Big East and Ruth Cassie. For more information, contact Jan Jacklin at hcomtheatrecompany@yahoo.ca.

Because the series was so well attended, the library is planning a second set this fall.
