A Note of Thanks
Vida De Guzman would like to thank NBC, as a whole, for the expressions of sympathy she received on the passing of her older sister in Kansas City, Missouri on January 12, 2012.

Evelina is feeling better; there are just days when she feels tired, especially after doing a flight of stairs.     Vida De Duzman

CHURCH BULLETIN NOTICE FOR CALGARY AREA CBWC CHURCHES

Participating in the Canadian Badlands Passion Play is a great experience for the whole family. Skills in acting, singing, dancing, storytelling, and theatre background are developed under the guidance of theatre professionals. No acting experience is necessary. Volunteer actors share in a weekend community with the other families at Nacmine campground. Set in the towering cottonwoods on the side of the Red Deer river our actors spend the evenings around campfires swapping stories of the day and breaking bread with the cast and crew. A true community working together to perform the greatest story ever told. The experience culminates in performing seven shows on an epic outdoor stage in front of over 14,000 people.

Auditions are being held in Calgary February 27. There are also many opportunities for non-performers to be involved with the Passion Play. Please contact Ailsa Birnie at pplayproduction@me.com for more information or check out our website www.canadianpassionplay.com
