From Cinderella to Thunderstruck and the days of early Rock N Roll ... the Lester Centre has something for everyone this March and Early April


The entertainment listings for the Lester Centre of the Arts continue to provide something for everyone and perhaps the best example is this months Playbill.   

A collection of shows which features a look at the presentation of Ballet Jargon's Cinderella on Wednesday to start the month, with the hard rocking AC/DC tribute band Rock or Bust arriving towards the end.

Or as the entertainment season might suggest ... In Like a Lamb out Like a Lion!

The Ballet Jorgen presentation takes place tomorrow night with a curtain time of 7:30 PM, he Lester Centre's information page for the event noting the focus for the presentation.

This ballet by Bengt Jorgen is an innovative take on the classic fairy tale. Jorgen's choreography balances the fairy tale elements of the story with a contemporary treatment of Cinderella and her family relationships. 

Returning to the original Russian tradition of having women perform the roles of the stepsisters, Jorgen builds a more realistic and human look at Cinderella and her circumstances, and then uses these scens to both counterpoint and highlight the magical aspects of the story.


The end of the month brings as the  Monty Python set might put it... comes something completely different.

The Friday, March 24th showcase of 'Rock or Bust'  a return engagement for Prince Rupert with a set list of the many anthems that made the Australians a global musical force, faithfully recreated to every note by a very loyal tribute band.



There's more in store for April, with the rescheduled Relive the Music a rock and roll revue set for an April 1st show date. 

The event one which will take the North Coast  audience on a musical journey back to the 50s and Sixties.
