ON STAGE AT MEAFORD HALL
Matt Andersen with special guest Wil (blues/roots)
March 13, 2010
Times:8:00pm - 10:00pm
New Brunswick's Matt Andersen has a larger than life showmanship that has been earning him a fervent and steadfast audience wherever he graces the stage. His sprawling blues, roots and rock musical hybrid along with his sorrowing and soulful voice has sparked a phenomenal buzz for his unstoppable live shows that erupt into standing ovations wherever he graces the stage. Joining him is Vancouver Island's Wil, a consummate touring folk musician, who's developing his expansive roots-rock sound and world-weary lyricism while playing his famously intense shows. One such performance was written up by the Calgary Sun as having so much "power and soul it could stop your heart." www.ibreakstrings.com Presented by Meaford Hall

Ryder brings music to life with a performance that resonates in memory long after its last notes fade...

Precious - Thursday Flicks
April 22, 2010
Times:4:00pm - 6:00pm
Set in Harlem in 1987, it is the story of Claireece "Precious" Jones (Gabourey Sidibe), a sixteen-year-old African-American girl born into a life no one would want. She's pregnant for the second time by her absent father; at home, she must wait hand and foot on her mother (Mo'Nique), a poisonously angry woman who abuses her emotionally and physically. School is a place of chaos, and Precious has reached the ninth grade with good marks and an awful secret: she can neither read nor write. Precious may sometimes be down, but she is never out: this is a vibrant, honest and resoundingly hopeful film about the human capacity to grow and overcome. Running time 110min, rated PG
