WELCOME TO THE GARRICK THEATRE’S 2017 SUMMER SEASON, and its seventh annual Saturday Summer Music Series. Since we launched the SSMS in 2011, the summer offerings have expanded greatly, and the total number of events has increased again this year. As in 2016, the Garrick offers four series to keep your summer calendar full.

Returning patrons will immediately note one significant change: Thursday is the new night for the weekly performance on our smaller Annex stage, now known as Thursdays on Church (ToC). However three of the ToC events - the Atlantic String Quartet, Andrea Lodge & Jay Sorce (in their first classical performance at the Garrick), and perennial favourites, Fretboard Journey - are actually being held in the main auditorium.

Friday Night Films (FNF) featuring independent Newfoundland and Canadian films - often with producers, directors or actors on hand - returns this year. We are also pleased to present the 2017 edition of Live on the Lawn (LotL), a series of free afternoon concerts held in partnership with the Mockbeggar Plantation Provincial Historic Site and the Ryan Premises National Historic Site.

This program will help you to keep track of the many events being held each week. We have altered the format to make it more readable at a glance, with dedicated pages for each series, and a chronological listing of all events.

Private donations and sponsorships are the Garrick’s financial cornerstone, and we are delighted to welcome several new supporters for 2017. Without these generous contributions, the theatre simply would not be able to deliver its program. We appreciate that the vast majority of donors and sponsors either reside in the area or have a strong local connection, with a genuine interest in helping the theatre succeed. The Garrick is also fortunate to have substantial public support, primarily in the form of an annual operating grant from the Town of Bonavista, supplemented this year by assistance from ArtsNL.

We are also appreciative of the many talented artists who appear on the Garrick’s stage each year, the loyal patrons who come to see them, and our able and enthusiastic staff and volunteers who do their utmost to make sure you enjoy your experience at the theatre.

See you at the Garrick.

Water, sewage, garbage collection .... There’s no denying the importance of key infrastructure and services. But, for the Town of Bonavista, building a community means looking beyond the basics.

O HAPPY SIGHT JUNE 24,1497 The Town dedicates roughly 20 percent of its annual operating budget to tourism, culture and recreation - all in areas that improve the quality of life for residents and encourage private investment. About half of that amount goes to heritage initiatives, including support to the Garrick Theatre, Matthew Legacy, the Bonavista Museum, Bonavista Archives, and the Town’s Heritage Grant Program, plus maintenance of public gardens, boardwalks and trails.

“The Town of Bonavista invests in heritage” acknowledges Mayor Betty Fitzgerald “and it’s worth the money when you see the results”. She’s not the only one who thinks so. In 2014, Heritage Canada awarded the Town the prestigious Prince of Wales Prize for Municipal Heritage Leadership. Clearly, this is a small town that isn’t afraid to think big. THE GARRICK is a multi-use cultural facility located in the heart of Bonavista, Newfoundland. Owned and operated by the Bonavista Historic Townscape Foundation, the Garrick boasts comfortable theatre seating for 200, digital cinema, state-of-the-art sound and lighting, and exceptional acoustics ... and that’s just the beginning. Cross the lobby and you’ll find the Annex - a beautifully furnished bar and intimate performance space. Head upstairs, and you’ll discover our brand new conference/event space with room for 100.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, visit our events calendar at www.garricktheatre.ca, or contact us at [email protected]. Our box office is open Monday to Friday, 1:00-5:00 p.m., one hour before show time, and on Saturday afternoons during the Saturday Summer Music Series. Call (709) 468-5777. “We give back by supporting community- led initiatives like the Garrick.”

Recognize an opportunity. That’s exactly what Charles R. Bell did when, in 1933, he took over a then bankrupt food brokerage business. Bell expanded the company’s portfolio, initially through the addition of new grocery brands and later by adding commercial and recreational marine products. Today, under the direction of Bell's descendants, including Chairman and son Randy Bell, the Bell Group of Companies operates throughout Atlantic Canada, focusing on four key areas: retail, wholesale, distribution and real estate.

“An important part of our success is the support we receive from the people of Newfoundland and Labrador” says Bell Group Chairman Randy Bell. “In return, we like to give back by supporting community-led initiatives like the Garrick Theatre. We are delighted to be a Platinum Sponsor this year and look forward to this coming season”. FOUR SERIES. ENDLESS CHOICE.

Like the Garrick, the Harbour Quarters Inn is tangible proof that old buildings can be put to beautiful new uses. The circa 1910 property originally served as the offices of local fish merchant Phillip Templeman and later, as J.T. Swyers General Store. Today, it’s a four star, heritage inn boasting 11 rooms, licensed restaurant with outdoor patio, gift shop and first-class conference facilities.

“We’ve been sponsoring the Garrick for 5 or 6 years” notes Lora Swyers, Harbour Quarters’ Assistant Manager. “We provide an annual cash donation and in-kind support, like discounted room rates”.

Why does the Harbour Quarters support the Garrick? “We love to see unique, local talent being brought to the main stage” says Lora “Plus, it’s a great venue for tourists to experience Newfoundland and Labrador’s best music and humour.” HANDY LIST OF EVERYTHING

ZEMDEGS JERRY & TODD PARDY In memory of Robert T. & Florence Pardy A BRIEF HISTORY OPENING DAY. 21 year-old John Bradley peered through the windows of the Garrick’s double doors, watching the gathering crowd on the street outside. It was Christmas Day, 1945 and optimism was in the air. World War II was over, Newfoundland’s return to some form of self- government now seemed inevitable, and opportunities abounded. The Bonavista Cottage Hospital (the first publicly-funded medical facility on the Peninsula) was completed during the war, followed by the Bonavista Cold Storage Company’s new premises (still operated today by Ocean Choice International) which employed hundreds of men and women in the processing and export of frozen cod. Newfoundland’s prolonged version of the Great Depression had faded in the wake of wartime prosperity. John had every reason to believe the Garrick would thrive.

FOR THE FIRST THREE DECADES, the Garrick was open seven nights a week with matinees on Saturday. It was not unusual for folks to come in carloads from as far away as Open Hall or Trinity to see the latest movies. Older boys and men would gather in the lobby for conversation. A BRIEF Patrons helped take tickets and clean up, making it difficult to distinguish between paid employees and volunteers. Saturday matinees were the domain of the young - a time for meeting friends and making new ones. In an era when children were separated not only by community, but also by denominational schools, the Garrick was a great melting pot where all could meet without the strict supervision of parents, teachers or clergy.

Scotiabankers help their neighbours. “We support community projects and organizations like the Bonavista Historic Townscape Foundation through two key programs” says local Scotiabank Manager of Customer Service, Juanita Martin- Clench. “Our Employee Volunteer Program provides donations to community organizations in which employees or Scotiabank retirees have been active volunteers. While our Team Community Program matches funds raised by employee teams.”

“We’ve been a part of Bonavista’s business community since 1910” says Ms. Martin- Clench. “We’re proud of the Garrick and the role it plays in this community. We’re proud to partner with them and we would gladly do it again.”

How’s that for a good neighbour! “It’s important to pay it forward.” www.robinsdonuts.com

Robin’s and the Garrick. They go together like ... well, coffee and donuts. Since 1975, Robin’s has grown from a single coffee shop in Thunder Bay, Ontario to 130 locations that stretch from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland and Labrador. The Bonavista location opened in 2011.

“Robin’s has been a corporate sponsor of the Garrick Theatre for the past couple of years.” notes Franchise Owner Sonya Tremblett Gray. “In return, they provide us with a pair of tickets to each summer music event. We then combine these tickets with Robin’s treats and create contests on social media as a way of promoting both our products and the Garrick’s shows”.

It’s a win-win approach. “A large part of Robin’s success comes from the tremendous support we receive from the community.” says Sonya. “As a business owner, I believe it’s important to pay that support forward.” “The theatre was always a focal point of the town.” www.oceanchoice.com

Cod may no longer be king, but the fishery remains an essential part of the local economy. Today, Bonavista’s Crab Processing Plant, owned and operated by Ocean Choice International (OCI) is one of Newfoundland’s largest crab producers. And with roughly 350 employees, it’s also the town’s largest employer.

“OCI has been a Garrick Platinum Sponsor for a number of years.” says Manager, Curtis Fisher. “The theatre was always a focal point of the town. Since the improvements to the building, and with the number and quality of events, the Garrick has resumed that role. With OCI being one of the largest employers in the area, we feel it’s important to support a facility like this - one that clearly benefits our employees and their families.” FOUNDATION & GARRICK VOLUNTEERS (full & part-time) STAFF Nicholas Best MELISSA BOYCE General Manager Jenna Mouland Riley Baker Kacie Mouland SANDRA WHITE Assistant Manager Jenna Bragg Kyle Mouland DIANE MOULAND Box Office & Marketing Manager Ally Cox Spencer Oldford Amber Cullimore Trevor Peddle RANDY PARSONS Annex & Conference Centre Manager Brianna Eddy Miranda Reid KARL WAY House Manager/Projectionist Hayley Eddy Matthew Ryan Kyle Ellis BOB LITTLE Facilities Manager & Technical Director Brady Stringer Adam Elliott Reanna Trask CARL PHILLIPS Sound Technician Noah Harris Cliff Tremblett MICHAEL ADAMS Custodian Natalie Hiscock Sandra Tremblett Jenny Joy Mark White PERRY CHAULK Custodian Jake Kennedy Rod White DENNIS RUSSELL Maintenance Supervisor Adam Martino
