The stage is set for the second in a series of local talent showcases at the Columbia Theatre.
Salut is onstage at the theatre on Friday, June 2 at 8 p.m.
It will feature local acts including singer Crystal Dorval, musician Elliot Vaughn, magician Wes Barker and mentalist Christopher Taylor, among others.
It's part of a new initiative by the Columbia Theatre to help promote local talent.
"There are amazing, talented people everywhere - they can sing, dance, act, juggle, perform magic and mind-blowing stunts, and they live in our community," says the theatre's Brad Tones, who's an actor himself, in a press release. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Reserve by calling 604-522-4500 or emailing [email protected].
You can also contact Brad if you'd like to perform in an upcoming show.
