The Gateway Theatre Guild 
 
The Gateway Theatre Guild is in full effect.  Our 2009-2010 Season line-up has a great variety to it.                                                                     
Our first production in November 2009 is Marvin’s Room directed by Carolyn Samuel.  We’re opening with a preview night on November 11th in which all proceeds are being donated to One Kids Place; a Children’s Treatment Centre.  One Kids Place offers a range of services to help children, youth and their families with physical, developmental and communication delays and disabilities.  The GTG is quite proud to be in conjunction with such a wonderful foundation.  Marvin’s Room is a dramatic comedy that is sure to touch your heart and make you laugh!  For more information about performances, please visit: http://www.gatewaytheatreguild.ca/blog/id/46
Our second show in February 2010 is Waiting For Godot, directed by Paul Tessier.  Godot will be our 2010 Quonta Festival entry in March 2010 which will be hosted in North Bay, ON by Gateway Theatre Guild.   Waiting for Godot follows two days in the lives of a pair of men who divert themselves while they wait expectantly and unsuccessfully for someone named Godot to arrive. They claim him as an acquaintance but in fact hardly know him, admitting that they would not recognise him were they to see him. To occupy themselves, they eat, sleep, converse, argue, sing, play games, exercise, swap hats, and contemplate suicide — anything "to hold the terrible silence at bay".  This much anticipated play is a must see!  For more information about performances, please visit: http://www.gatewaytheatreguild.ca/blog/id/41
Quonta 2010 ~ Hosted by GTG
Kelly Boegel (1st Vice President Memberships) and Carolyn Samuel (Patrons Officer) are the co-chairs of Quonta Festival 2010.  These two dedicated young ladies have already put together what looks like a fantastic festival with organized green rooms and great workshops!  Anyone wanting to get information or tickets about any of these events can call our box office at 705-358-1425.  They can also be contacted on our website: www.gatewaytheatreguild.ca
Our third production in May 2010 is Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, directed by Jocelyn Bell.  This Broadway musical ran for more than four years.  Jacques Brel is a rich cross-section of songs about life, death, and love--and typically sharp-eyed observations about the human follies that season them.  This musical will mark our final regular season production but let us not forget the other exciting happening with the GTG during our season.
We’re very internet applied now starting with our new Facebook page which can be found at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=134447667627&ref=mf .  Please feel free to join our page and follow our events.  Also, we’ve joined Twitter to post some updates and follow other local events as well.  This is all so exciting for the GTG as we’re embarking on new ways of reaching out to our community.  To follow our Twitter page , we can be found at http://twitter.com/gatewaytheatre . 
Open Night Theatre (FREE)
Our free Open Night Theatre events are becoming more and more popular all the time.  Each month, we host a newly themed theatre night in which all are welcome to attend and/or participate.  We encourage as many people as possible to attend to see what it’s all about whether or not you’re a member; you’re going to have fun exploring the endless possibilities.  So far this season, we’ve enjoyed evenings with Monologue study, Improv entertainment, and with the exception of December, we’ll continue until May 2010.  For more information, please visit: http://www.gatewaytheatreguild.ca/index.php?module=pagesmith&uop=view_page&id=30 .
Talent Nights (NEW)
The GTG has started what seems to be a winning fundraiser for our season shows.  For each production this season, we’ll be hosting a “GTG’s Got Talent” night, in which anyone can attend.  This night consists of random talents that you may or may not have ever seen before.  Anyone can participate by demonstrating a talent of their choice.  Prizes are rewarded to the select Talents.  The night also consists of drinks, good times, new meet & greets and let us not forget KARAOKE.  To stay tuned for upcoming Talent Nights, please visit: http://www.gatewaytheatreguild.ca/blog/id/47 .
Well that’s all for now from North Bay’s Gateway Theatre Guild, but there are always many things happening with the Guild these days.  Stay tuned and drop by if you’re in the neighbourhood.  Don’t miss Quonta 2010; it’s going to be fantastic!
Thanks for reading.
