SPECIAL
PUBLIC
SHOW

NORTH SHORE residents Pippa
Purchase, Moe Jones, Daphne
Squire, Gordi Moore and David
Woodhouse will perform May 23
when The Kirby Singers appear on
stage.

A common sight at various local
conventions and other private
functions, the group is putting on
this special public show for its
Lower Mainland fans.

“Every three years or so we put
on a public performance for peo-
ple who don’t get to see us,’’ said
Elsie Kirby, who founded the
group two decades ago.

It’s choreographed; it’s along
the lines of the Manhattan Trans-
fer,’’ the 12-year West Vancouver
resident explained of her nine-
member singing group.

Many of the nine members are
active in other local theatre pro-
‘jects besides the group. David
Woodhouse has performed with
the North Shore Light Opera.

“They teach on the North Shore
many of them,” Kirby said of her
group’s singers. ‘‘They work full
time and they also do a lot of
community work.’’

The May 23 evening of a dinner,
dancing and two floor shows at the
Skystage Theatre Restaurant in
Richmond will cost $20 a person or
$35 a couple.

For ticket reservations or more
information call 278- S161 or 437-
4434.
