Portal Players Relay for life team, the Capitol Thespians, are teaming up with local musicians to join the fight against cancer. On June 9th 2011 thirteen local music groups and musicians will take to the stage at the Capitol Theatre. Tickets will be available at the Capitol Theatre box office or by calling Melissa Lowe at (250) 730-7356.

The music groups are: Rob Armich and Rob Mooney, Sandy and Walter Bouleau, Janet Deakin and Dennis Olsen, Full House, Peace Keeper, Blaine Ronning, Alexandria Drew, Birgit Kuit, Dented Halos, Justin Levins, ADSS Senior Vocal Trio and Heather Costerton.

“I have never produced anything of this size in my life, I am so excited!” says Melissa Lowe, Team Captain and Variety Show Producer. This will be Lowes second year as captain for the Portal Players team. “It’s a lot of hard work, but those who I am working with are extremely kind and helpful people.”

Lowe has been a member of Portal Players for many years now and felt it was time from them to give back to a community who has been very supportive. “Relay for Life has always been big in this community, and it’s about to get bigger with this Variety Show. It will bring together other relay members and members of the community who like to listen to good music and see a great show. People will be leaving the theatre with a good warm hearted feeling,” says Lowe.
