Lisa White is shown receiving a cheque from Operations Director Jim Dobbs.  This donation to Medecin Sans Frontieres for over $2000 supported "HEAR US NOW" - a fundraising event held February 6th, 2010 with proceeds going to charities working in Haiti.  Almost 40 performers presented their best in a wonderful variety show.  Many volunteers helped make the evening a smooth one, and the silent auction was a great success.

Burnaby South Secondary Media Arts classes received an unexpected gift from a unique three-way transaction. The Michael J. Fox Theatre provided stage, auditorium and technical support to Strand Lighting for a recent series of lighting console master classes. In return, Strand provided two Arturo softlights and two Bambino fresnels to the school's RATV studios.

Pictured above (left to right) are David Rawlings, Strand representative from Bernard and Associates, Media Arts teacher Vania Zaharieva-Alexieva and theatre Director of Operations Jim Dobbs.

Many Burnaby South students enrolled in Media, Visual and Performing Arts programs are also employed in the Theatre's Guest Services department.
