Eliza Massey Stanford is having a show of paintings at Peace Gallery North from May 7-28, 2010.   The show, entitled "Sunny with Cloudy Periods", is comprised of a series of paintings of the landscapes in the Peace region.  Eliza has put down her camera this time around to capture the sense of wide open space and incredible northern skies on canvas, taking photos only to record the scenes and the clouds so she can work them into paintings in her studio.

Claudia is an official pre-teen, still reeling from her parents' divorce. Her father is getting re-married, she has a science fair project coming due, and she is in the physical and emotional throes of puberty. Finding refuge in the basement of her school, Claudia discovers the pain at the centre of her brimming child's heart. Some important adults in Claudia's life—her grandfather, her father's new girlfriend, and the school custodian—shed light on her situation.

This play contains some coarse language.

Tickets are available from the Cultural Centre Box Office, by phone at (250) 785-1992 or 1-877-785-1992, or online.
