ACTORS' FUND BENEFIT - EDMONTON
--------------------------------
Just in time for Christmas, James Brewer presents a theatrical journey
with one of the greatest novelists of all time, Charles Dickens. From
portraying the man himself and many of his most famous characters, Mr.
Brewer gives us a wonderful glimpse into the heart of this illustrious
artist and his fabulous creations all in one theatrical event.

Charles Dickens was a novelist but he was also an actor, entertainer,
promoter, journalist, editor, dedicated reformer and a superstar of his
age. He was the first great writer to confront the social problems of
his times by brilliantly uniting the action and characters in his novels
to the deep social concerns that he felt.

To honour that legacy all after expense revenue from this production
will be donated to the Change for Children Society and The Actors' Fund
of Canada.

An Evening With Charles Dickens plays at The Varscona Theatre (10329-83
Ave.) from November 27th to December 8th . The show runs Tuesday to
Saturday's at 8 P.M. and Saturday matinees at 2 P.M. All performances
are PAY WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD!

To buy tickets: Tix on the Square at 420-1757, or www.tixonthesquare.ca.

Or to reserve in advance: The Varscona Theatre 433-3399.
