PRINCE GEORGE – In front of a gathering of theatre-faithful, the Director and the Producer of Miracle Theatre explained the lengths they went to secure their fifth production, flying all the way to Toronto to get the rights to get a work by Mark Crawford called The Birds and The Bees.
“It’s a very funny story of this divorced beekeeper in her sixties. She is actually running this bee farm. And it’s all about her encounters with her next-door neighbour who is a farmer, a big fan of insecticides,” explains Ted Price, the Director of Miracle Theatre. “Her daughter decides to move back home, even though she’s almost 40 and then, really, the fun-loving and handsome graduate student who is there to do his Master’s thesis on the bees. And they have all sorts of hilarious interactions.”
The recipient of this year’s production is, for a second time, the Community Foundation and, specifically, the Children of Prince George Fund. That fund was created by Miracle Theatre last year. This is Miracle Theatre’s fifth production, with it’s latest raising the most funds to date at $84,039. The goal this year is to raise just over $71,000. That figure would mean Miracle Theatre will have raised $300,000 in just over four years. It will also push the Children of Prince George Fund to $150,000.
With an endowment fund, to make sizeable grants, to make the grants useful, the bigger the fund the more interest that’s earned,” explains Al LeFebvre, President, Community Foundation.
