Got your attention?
[wondering what “Banff” is?
iReadon!
Every year, during the
[first week of November, the small
town of Banff, Alberta, hosts
[what is known as the Banff
Mountain Film Festival, an
international competition of
hundreds of outdoor films
submitted from various countries
around the world. These films
feature the mountains of the
world; adventure; environment;
culture; people; and sports, such
as skiing, rock climbing, and
kayaking. The Festival’s elite
films move on to be shown at a
yearly world tour. This year, the
Banff World Tour, now in its 11th
season, will travel to over 150
cities across five continents.
Guessed by now? Yes,
Brevard is one of those destina
tions this year! After years of
Twister Products and the BC
Outing Club attempting to bring
Banff to Brevard, the Banff World
Tour, presented by Eagle Creek
Travel Gear, will arrive here at
Dunham Auditorium on Friday,
March 26. Film showings will
beginat7:30p.m. Ticketscanbe
obtained at the Porter Center Box
Office, Backcountry Outdoors in

outfitters and outdoor shops will

Hosted by Brevard College, the
Banff showings are sponsored

Camping Center and Mountain
Express.
My fellow students,
this reporter must stress that
Banff is not some “dinky” little
slideshow. The Banff Mountain
World Tour is a premiere festival
of world-renowned outdoor
adventure films. It is a discovery
that all in Brevard will not want to
miss out on.

Passed by the Porter Center
Black Box Theatre lately? Heard
a bunch of singing and dancing
going on? Wondered what all the
activity was? Well, psst....this
reporter has the answer: Brevard
students and members of the
local community are busy
producing the musical 110 in the
Shade. Premiering April 21, 22,
23, the play is directed Dr.
Bob White. Working diligently
with Bob and the cast are
Assistant Director Jennifer
Bobbitt and student Choreogra
pher Victoria Zgura, and Pianist
Curtis Gardin.
The plot of 770 in the
Shade tells the story of a
traveling con man (Bob
Lahmann) who contends he can
make it rain. While attempting to
conjur up the much-need wet
stuff, Lahmann also woos Lizzy
(Angela Hayes) who happens to
be engaged to the town’s sheriff.
When the con man finally leaves
town, Lizzy realizes that all of
the scoundrel’s glamour and glitz
are not qualities she can love.
This reporter was
fortunate enough to sit in on one
music rehearsal where the cast
belted out some of the show’s
tunes. Evident was the out
standingly talent of this 110 in
the Shade cast which includes
Angela Hayes, Bob Lahmann,
Alex Helms, Justin Register, Eric
Hinson, Sandra Carr, Joshua
Sellers, Hakan D’Onofrio, Jessica
Morrison, Wes Vanasek, Faith
Beddow, Carrie Campbell,
Christin Raxter, Todd
Sunderland, Amanda Gardin,
Phillip Crew, Amanda Jacobs,
Chijinke Chinaka, Katie Smith,
Beth Miller, Laurel Hill, Pamela
Embry, and Victoria Zgura. Don’t
miss it!
