Van’s Crossings eatery gets top culinary rating e From page 21 Crossings is one of the best new restaurants on the North Shore and has finally done justice to a great North Shore location. For those who like the gastronomic bonanza and on- board pampering of ocean cruising without the scafaring complica- tions and costs of leaving port, Crossings is sure to fit the bill. Parking is provided in the lot at the foot of Chesterfield Avenue, but, because it is metered, be sure to remember to bring at least four quarters for the wretched ticket machine, which is at the north end of the lot (the restaurant is at the south end). Crossings will reimburse patrons for the $) invested if a receipt is produced. umes Critertainment Folk musicians THE NORTH Shore Folk Club is looking for per- formers to round out its open stage evening Feb. | in the lounge of Presentation House in North Van- couver. Hosting events twice a month, the local folk club features an open night one evening and a special folk music concert performance the other evening. “AIL types of folk music are featured and in- strumentalists are particularly welcome as many im- Ppromptu sessions take place,'’ said founder Eric Armstrong. sought ‘Anyone with a fiddle or accordian gathering dust is urged to come along."’ Co-founded by Armstrong and his wife, Betty, the folk club is not a club as such, but a group of folk music lovers who get together twice a month. Performers, especially instrumentalists, are needed for the group’s other open stage nights the first even- ing of the month, explained Armstrong. Interested performers should come to the 8 p.m. open stage evenings and join the players. Pain, fantasy, anger Creatures go over town explored in NV play THE TALE. of a. young Philsdelpkia-bound Irishman is the subject of Philadelphia, Here I Come, the latest produc- tion from Presentation House’s resident company. Using 2 doppleganger tech- niqae, Brian Friel’s production allows the audience to see three added facets of the young men Gar — pain, fantasy and anger. . Although the script calls for a ‘private’ Gar — a personifica- tion -of the man’s fanermest feelings — director Catherine Caines has enhenced the effect by including the various parts of the private Gar to encompass much more. . “It’s hardly ever done,"’ she said of the effect. ‘‘While he might mot be speaking, (through the technique) we ree what he’s actually thinking.” Fhe first production of 1988 from the members of the resi- dent Film aad Theatre School Company, Philxdelphia, Here I Come runs until Feb. 13.
