solving, reasoning, abstract thinking, conceptualization and creative thinking, all of the skills so necessary to success in
school and the workplace. The Rotary Club of Sherwood Park has a history of commitment to international and community

THE ROTARY COMMUNITY THEATRE EDUCATION PROJECT
Rotary recognizes the opportunities community theatre offers individuals for personal growth and development.
Accordingly, Rotary is undertaking a project with Festival Place to support the offering of courses and training opportunities.

contributors to their community. Programmes will be offered year round commencing late this summer in areas like acting,

“Dazzling, detailed …. very,
very good” – Chicago Tribune
Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham,
Internationally known as the English rock band Led Zeppelin, was
one of the most successful, innovative, and influential rock groups
in history. In October 1969, the band released the 12x multiplatinum Led Zeppelin II, selling in excess of 12 million copies
since its release. Experience the entire album track-by-track as
it is meticulously recreated live by a group of talented rockers.
The musicians faithfully recreate every sound on the original
album, employing as many musicians as is necessary to precisely
replicate.
Much of Charles Ross’ childhood was
spent in a galaxy far, far away, watching
Star Wars videos over – and over – and
over again. The result of this misspent
youth is his hysterical One Man Star
Wars Trilogy, where he single-handedly
plays all the characters, sings the music, flies the ships, fights the
battles and condenses the plots into one hilarious show! From
Off- Broadway in New York to London’s West End, One Man Star
Wars has been performed over 1200 times in more than 180 cities
worldwide.

Traditional Album” for Row Upon Row of the People They Know and
