Harry Manx at The Empire Theatre February 02, 2012 to
Harry Manx speaks to the soul with his calm spirituality and distinctive sound. Dubbed the essential link between the music of East and West, he is a master of the musical short story that seamlessly weds the tradition of the ‘earthly’ American Blues with the depth of classical ‘heavenly’ Indian ragas. From an early age, Manx was on the road … as a sound man in the blues clubs of Toronto, busking on street corners from Brazil to Japan, studying meditation and music in India .. and all these influences shine through in his music. A dedicated performer, Manx has put out nine CDs in eight years, garnered a serious stack of awards and toured extensively across Canada, the US, Australia and Europe, playing in soft seat theatres, prestigious festivals and first-rate blues clubs. A modern day troubadour, Manx sings with an intimate, quiet warmth that makes his shows mesmerizing. The subtle interplay between the haunting notes of the sitar and the gentle, rhythmic groove of the blues gives his songs a beautiful sensuality that defies comparison

Friday, February 10 & Saturday, February 11 at 7:30 p.m.
Albert College Memorial Chapel - 160 Dundas Street West, Belleville
The Laramie Project is a play by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project. It is based on the true story of the 1998 murder of University of Wyoming gay student Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming. The murder was denounced as a hate crime motivated by homophobia and brought attention to the lack of hate crimes laws in various states, including Wyoming.
The play draws on hundreds of interviews conducted by the theatre company with inhabitants of the town, company members' own journal entries and published news reports. It is divided into three acts, and eight actors portray more than sixty characters in a series of short scenes.
