ENTERTAINMENT Review: War & Revolution is a fun, uplifting show; a must-see Do yourself a favour-- go see War & Revolution. Don't be put off by the gloomy title. The spring cabaret offering from Georgetown Globe Productions, directed and choreo- graphed by Laura Caswell, is an uplifting, fun, sometimes provocative, sometimes poignant, stellar piece of entertainment. Yes, it's a good show. War & Revolution is a two-hour show with music gleaned through the times of war and revolution-- songs that told the story of those who went to war or revolu- tion and those who were left behind. The set list includes World War I and II stan- dards, Broadway favourites and even rock songs. It also includes comedy, storytell- ing and infectious audience sing-alongs. The intimacy of the restored old Acton Town Hall Centre was like an additional cast member, and the show would not have been nearly as effective in a bigger venue. The set, props and costumes were sim- ple, and the choreography effective. Being a Green Day fan, my favourite was the touching version of 21 Guns from American Idiot. But, then again, I could have chosen any of the numbers as a fa- vourite. The cast was superb and each had their own moment to shine. Bravo to Jaime Lynn Brown, Stefanie Dragan, Alex Ellison, Lois Fraser, Alex Jones, Madi- son Jones, Craig Marshall, Jordan May, Brian Mills, Richard Moore, Robin Sin- clair, Laurette Wyshnicki and Margaret Zabokrzycki. On opening night, the band was a lit- tle loud at the start but quickly adjusted to the smaller venue. Band members are A. Dale Wood (conductor and keyboard), Haydn Evans (keyboard), Chris Udell (bass) and Sarah Becker (drums). War & Revolution continues this week at the Acton Town Hall Centre, evenings, Thursday to Saturday at 8 p.m. and a Sat- urday matinee at 2 p.m. It is worth the drive to Acton. By CYNTHIA GAMBLE Staff Writer Knox Church offers help to local artists, musicians Knox Presbyterian Church in Acton pre- sented its third Artist Assistance Concert in January and funds were raised by a free will offering to provide help to the local artistic community.

The line-up included school groups from Robert Little and Acton High School, the Kerr family, the Hazzard group. Cash Grab Comedy Troupe, Brian Denny, Ruth Kranen- donk, Leanne Monaghan, Sharon Dutton and our church choir. There was also an art display by John VanBendegem, Melissa Ben- ham, Dakota Lepard and Doris Treleavan. To everyone's delight, when the power went out, Russell and Carolyn showed the true meaning of "The Show Must Go On" by performing a spontaneous song in the flicker- ing candlelight until the hydro was restored. Following the concert, a delicious lunch was provided by Knox Ladies served a lunch with the generous donations from Sobeys and Giant Tiger. Next year, the concert is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 10.
