Like the three Wise Men of the Nativity, Drs Charles Brunner, Helmer Hilwig and Richard Anthony Pierre produced an excellent event at Queen’s Hall this week. Christmas Joy—the Gift of the Drum, another of Brian MacFarlane’s breathtaking Christmas productions, premiered last Sunday and is currently continuing until Sunday evening.
Those who attended the premiere and its ensuing shows were treated to performances by Alethea Beharry, Wendell Constantine, Marlon de Bique, Anne Fridal, Lennox Gray, Kelwyn Hutcheon, Christian Mendez, Stephanie Nahous, Rosezanna Winchester, Raquel Winchester, Wendy Sheppard, Marvin Smith, Ancil Valley, a children’s choir, members of the Cascade Festival Ballet and Twin Inc.
Part proceeds of the opening night went to the Children’s Ark’s project to relocate and reconstruct the Surgical Ward, including the operating theatre and dental suite, of the Princess Elizabeth Home for Handicapped Children which will cost approximately $1.6 million.
