Arts Club Opening Gala

 

The Arts Club Theatre Company celebrated the opening of their 2000/2001 season with a special gala evening on October 4. Guests were treated to a special performance of Peter Shaffer's "Amadeus", starring Alvin Sanders, Haig Sutherland & Tiffany Lyndall-Knight, at Vancouver's Stanley Theatre. Then, afterwards, there was an auction and a special reception at Chapters book store. Dressing up was also part of the fun as volunteers and historical performers entertained during the reception. Best wishes for another great season.
