The event will be held in the Tantramar Regional High School Theatre on Monday, August 27 at 7:30 pm. The evening will be in the style of the old “Hooks Line and Singers” fundraisers Live Bait has done in the past, with reflections on the 30 years of Live Bait including a presentation by former Board member Sandy Burnett, as well as music, performances of scenes from some of Live Bait’s biggest hits from the past, and reminisces from past participants in Live Bait shows and activities. There will also be a silent auction (people who have silent auction items to donate please contact Live Bait Theatre).
There will also be appearances by many faces familiar to past Live Bait patrons, including: Andrea LeBlanc who played Granma Krazy in countless dinner theatres; other members of the Krazy family including Stephanie LeBlanc, Lara Fawthrop and Blaine Totten; Pamela Halstead who was in the world premiere of “The Maritime Way of Life”; Deb Allen who was in “Of the Fields, Lately”, “For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again” and “The Heart That Knows”; Jennie Del Motte who has appeared in a number of dinner theatres and musically directed a number of shows; and Heather MacIntyre who was in “Guilty!

Also in attendance for the evening will be founding Artistic Director Charlie Rhindress, former Artistic Director Karen Valanne, and other patrons and supporters from throughout Live Bait’s history. “It’s hard to believe that Live Bait Theatre has been around for 30 years! When we started the company it was a summer project for three Mount A students who had no idea there would even be a second season”, said Rhindress. “I’m so excited to be helping with the 30th Anniversary reunion show and to have the chance to share the stage once again with some of the people who played such a big part in the history of the company.”

Solo Chicken Productions presents
A Record of Us
Directed by Lesandra Dodson & Lisa Anne Ross.
June 5, BMO Studio Theatre, 112 Princess St.
Using the text of celebrated New Brunswick author David Adams Richards as the catalyst, the company has built a performance that evokes the raw beauty, the enduring humour and the hardscrabble realities of this province.
Tickets: $17.50, student $12.50 | www.ticketpro.ca | 1-888-311-9090
Fredericton, NB – Solo Chicken Productions is excited to announce that they are taking the coop’s inaugural work, A Record of Us, on the road for their first tour of New Brunswick. In early June the company will perform their inaugural work in Fredericton, Saint John, Moncton and Sackville, forging new partnerships with Saint John Theatre Company, the Aberdeen Centre, and Live Bait Theatre. A Record of Us was created using the text of celebrated New Brunswick author David Adams Richards as the catalyst, resulting in a physical theatre performance that evokes the raw beauty, enduring humour, and hardscrabble realities of life in this province.
A Record of Us premiered as a main stage offering at the 2016 NotaBle Acts Theatre Festival and was created through residency opportunities with Charlotte Street Arts Centre, and the Fredericton Playhouse. The creation of A Record of Us began in the spring of 2015 when Lesandra Dodson and Lisa Anne Ross first launched the coop, which is a performance collective for professional artists to research, develop and perform original works of physical theatre while supporting the artistic growth of emerging NB artists through training and performance opportunities. This piece celebrates the work of a new generation of NB artists who are now making a resounding impact in their field – since the premiere in 2016 the coop company members have been busy training and creating theatre across Canada and are thrilled to be returning to Fredericton to share the work across the province.
A Record of Us is directed by Lesandra Dodson and Lisa Anne Ross, and features the collaborative work of Jean-Michel Cliche, Kira Chisholm, Alex Donovan, Ian Goff, Alexa Higgins, and Lexi McCrae. The tour will include Technical Direction by Trent Logan, and Stage Management by Dee Chiasson.
