The Canadian College of Performing Arts will provide that guidance, and promises to be a valuable addition to the Canadian arts scene. As Patron of the Canadian Heritage Arts Society, I congratulate everyone involved with the creation of the school and their dedication to helping young Canadians succeed in this demanding and competitive field. College founders Jacques Lemay, Janis Dunning and the Canadian Heritage Arts Society board offered their sincere appreciation to the Church of St. Mary the Virgin for forging a mutually beneficial agreement regarding shared use of space between the two charitable organizations. The Oak Bay Preschool children, under the leadership of teacher Sue McGregor, watched with wide eyes as the college students. October 3 was not yet a time for performance.
CCPA students relish an opportunity to work on skills without presentation.
However, they will be eager to perform soon and all 300 guests were invited to return for their commemoration on Remembrance Day and for the upcoming Showcases and special events. We hope to see you all at the McPherson Playhouse Theatre, April 23 and 24, 1999. In addition to an intensive class schedule, the students at the Canadian College of Performing Arts have the opportunity to work with professionals on a regular basis, both in discussion groups and through master classes. Christopher Wilson , from the cast of the National Arts Centre production of the Mikado, and the Stratford Festival Matt Ledding from his circus troupe currently working in Europe. In addition, students have participated in master classes with Menaka Thakkar.
