Artists For Haiti Cork Arts Theatre

Help Haiti… Artists For Haiti Cork Arts Theatre 4 & 5 March at 8pm

Cork Arts Theatre is proud to present an evening of music and drama on March 4th and 5th at 8pm nightly in aid of Haiti. All proceeds from the ticket price are going to the Cork charity Haven. Haiti was devastated by a major earthquake in January 2010 which has cost the lives of over 200,000 people. The charity Haven, already involved in building homes for the poverty stricken country, has appealed for much needed funds and volunteers to rebuild the ravaged country.

Leslie & Carmel Buckley founded the Cork based charity Haven in late 2008. Leslie is a successful businessman and co-founder of the Digicel mobile phone company. His business interests brought him to Haiti for the first time in 2004 and he was really horrified by the level of poverty on this island in the Caribbean. He decided to do something to help and set up Haven with an initial donation of one million euro.

Artists for Haiti runs on the 4th and 5th March at The Cork Arts Theatre and includes Cork drama and musical stalwarts such as The Star Gazers, Snatch Comedy, ITSA Theatre Company (The Irish Canon Abridged), Kate McSweeney O Rourke, Marie O Donovan, CADA Performing Arts, Vanessa Hyde, Fionula Lenihan, Alma Kickham, Elena Hostetler, Cuan Walsh, Eavan O’Leary, Frank Twomey and Pakie O’Callaghan ( On The Beach ) and Irene Kelleher. Tickets at The Cork Arts Theatre for Help Haiti are priced €20, (€12 for students and unwaged) and the total price of the ticket will be donated to the charity Haven. Show is 8pm nightly call 021 450 5624 or log onto www.corkartstheatre.com for more details.

The Wolfman with Benicio Del Toro

by Frank January 28th, 2010

I’m not a big fan of horror movies, but oddly I’ve always had a thing for vampires and werewolves. The Wolfman looks like a bit of fun, and we definitely haven’t been seeing enough of Benicio Del Toro lately (not since Che part I and part II).

It’s a Universal Pictures film, and if you want to keep up to speed with what Universal are releasing in Ireland (and by the looks of it chances to win tickets to showings) there’s now a Universal Pictures Ireland facebook page and Twitter account.
