Former Toronto entertainer, moved west, Luke Isaac is making a return performance at Food Bank Tuesday next week.

Isaac is aboriginal musician who performed at the July FBT, in the plaza next to McBurneys Coffee and Tea House, explained organizer Eli Bryan.

"Without exaggeration, his performance, musicianship, and presence was stellar," Bryan said. "His songs are very, very good, and his guitar artistry is unquestionable - a cut above most really good musicians."

Food Bank Tuesday is an informal monthly concert series hosted in downtown Langley City and designed to raise money and food for the Langley Food Bank.

The night typically features a number of local musicians. September's event (always the first Tuesday of every month) will also feature Alyssa Nielsen, Ron Irving, Joe Given, Michael Vincent, and Eli Bryan, along with accompanists Paul Armitage on keyboards and Mark Dobbs on percussion.

"It will be a very interesting and totally musical night," Bryan said. "As usual, we're only asking for people to bring a donation of dollars or non-perishables for our food bank."

The next concert is at McBurney's coffee house, 20504 Fraser Hwy. from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 7.

TINKERBELL AUDITIONS BEGIN

It's not just Tinkerbell, but the entire cast of characters created by J.M. Barrie in his classic tale Peter Pan who are needed next week.

Gallery 7 Theatre and Performing Arts is gearing up for its fall production, and holding open auditions Thursday, said the gallery's artistic director Ken Hildebrandt.

Gallery 7 is Abbotsford's only full-time, community/semi-professional theatre. And gearing up for its 20th year, this organization attracts a lot of Langley and Aldergrove actors, Hildebrandt explained.

Community performers ages 16 years and older are invited to be part of the classic adventure by auditioning for a role on Thursday, Sept. 9, starting at 6:30 p.m.

The production will feature 10 men and women, some playing multiple roles and a total of 18 characters, Hildebrandt said.

"British accents will be used, and creativity and the ability to play will be a requirement of all performers," he added. "Dance and movement experience, along with singing ability, are assets - but not a necessity."

This show runs Nov. 12 through 27, with all performances and rehearsals at the MEI Theatre in Abbotsford.

Peter Pan rehearsals under the direction of Eldon Letkeman (he directed last year's Around the World in 80 Days), will begin Sept. 13, and occur Mondays, Wednesday, and Thursdays from 6 to 10 p.m.

Anyone interested in auditioning is asked to sign up ahead of time by calling Gallery 7 at 604-504-5940, or emailing: info@gallery7theatre.com.
