New Gallery!

New Gallery!

A new gallery containing programmes from past plays has been added to the site, based on images kindly sent in by Ken Hollands (cheers Ken!). We’re still on the lookout for more programmes, posters and pictures that can be added to the site, so if you have any let us know!

You can check out the gallery here.

The theatre Prince George built

An old newspaper article

An old newspaper article

Here’s an old newspaper article uploaded by Ken Hollands, which itself references an even older article about the building of the Prince George Playhouse and the founding of the Society. It’s a bit inspirational, ain’t it?

(Click on the thumbnail to see the document. You need a PDF reader, like Adobe Acrobat Reader, to see this file).

To me, this little number makes a statement that’s relevant today… the Society’s going through tough times right now, but it has done so before – and it’s weathered them well.

To anyone else out there who has clippings or other memorabilia, we’d be interested in posting them on the site, so contact me if you have anything to donate. Posters, news articles, programs, photos… all are welcome.

Social bookmarking (digg, de.licio.us, facebook, twitter, etc.) icons have been added to the site to allow you to broadcast posts and pages to friends.

If you use social media, you’re probably familiar with the process. For those of you who aren’t, just click the “Bookmark It” link at the bottom of any post or page and choose the icon for the social media site you’d like to send the link to. It’s that easy!

Call for contributors and memorabilia

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Hello all!

This is Aaron Hawryluk, the administrator and donator of this site. I’m writing to you from my home in Calgary. If you’ve come here, it means you’ve been sent a link or learned about the project in some other way and you’re curious. Good!

This site will eventually replace the current PGTW site located at http://pgtw.bc.ca, provided the Board approves.

The intent of this site is to create a new website for Prince George Theatre Workshop, providing a “one-stop shop” for ticket purchases, casting calls, Society minutes, and historical archives. I’ve been in discussions with Dan LaFrance in Prince George and have decided to offer my development, hosting and IT services to the Society free of charge.

BUT… This is not a single person’s project. You can help! While I will take care of most of the IT administrative work like setting up a proper domain contact system, creating email addresses, etc., YOU can contribute your thoughts, your memories and your ideas here. I’m curently on the lookout for people to help write and upload content to this site. If you have anything to contribute, whether it be writing, scans of memorabilia from the Society’s history, digitized video, etc., please leave me a comment and let me know. Any and all contributions are welcome!
