Anton in Show Business is a raucous comedy by Jane Martin, directed by veteran director Norma Rushton. A cast of seven local actresses play over a dozen different characters, telling the story of a small Texas theatre company that is trying desperately to put on a production of Anton Chekov's The Three Sisters. Having secured hot TV star Holly Seabe (played by Anna Kirkpatrick) to star in her play, producer Kate (Kat Sloan) has gone to New York to find the rest of her cast. But Holly fires directors as fast as Kate hires them, and the theatre company finds themselves in hot water with their tobacco company funders. The story is theatrical, but the themes of insecurity, following one's dreams, and trying to balance art and life, are universal.
Anton in Show Business runs October 20- Nov 5, running Thursdays to Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm. Tickets are $20, with two Thursday shows at $10. Tickets are available at www.openingnitetheatre.com, or at the door. Opening Nite Theatre is at 33223 Railway Ave in Mission.  A Grief Support Group facilitated by the Mission Hospice Society.
This support group welcomes those who are currently navigating the profound loss of a family member, friend, relative, or significant other. Over the course of eight sessions our program will closely follow the insightful chapters of the book Understanding Your Grief: Ten Essential Touchstones for Finding Hope and Healing Your Heart. During these sessions, participants will gain an understanding of grief, all while honouring the distinctiveness of each individual's grieving process. In a safe and caring environment participants will gain tools designed to guide them forward on their path of grieving. Moreover, they will receive compassionate assistance in reconciling with the significant social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects inherent in the grieving journey. By sharing their stories and emotions with others, attendees will discover a sense of normalcy in the midst of the unfamiliar emotional terrain of grief. This shared experience paves the way for renewed hope and a transformative process of healing.

My musical past and accident, although if felt like a setback, have led me to where I am today - being able to record music and share it with the world."  Although pop and rock were the genres Annika first loved, Patsy Cline's music drew her to the country genre, where she was introduced to many female powerhouses. After hearing songs like 'Walking After Midnight' and 'Crazy,' she began singing country covers and other classics. Annika pursued opportunities to perform country music at every chance she got. She was fortunate enough to have multiple sets at the Rockin' River Music Festival Hell or High Water fundraiser, and she even had the opportunity to open for Canadian country star Michelle Wright when she was younger. Annika also achieved recognition in various competitions, such as Varieties Got Talent, PNE Star Showdown, and BC Youths Talent Search. In 2017, Annika was in a serious accident that required multiple surgeries, including reconstructive facial surgery, which made singing challenging. However, nothing was going to stop her from pursuing her love for music. Annika Catharina currently plays and regularly sings in a working band for multiple events all throughout BC. She released her debut single, "Better," in March 2023. Better gained attention from Spotify's Fresh Finds and is regularly spinning on Sirius XM Country 171 radio station. Annika released her second single “Broke It” on July 28th and is already working on getting to release more music very soon! While creating "Broke It’, Annika drew inspiration from personal experience; lessons about self-discovery, relationships, and trust that it brought. She says “most of all, I learned how hard getting over your first heartbreak is; some people can move on quickly, while others, like myself, may need time to heal. I wondered why moving on from that initial heartbreak was so hard. Being young and in love can be confusing, yet nothing prepares you for the break.” Annika brought the chorus melody and hook to collaborators Dan Botch, Garrett Ward, and Parker Graye. Together, they delved into her past, exploring the memories entangled with her first heartbreak. They penned the song, crafted a demo, and recognized its universal resonance - capturing the sentiments shared by many. "Broke It" was produced by The Renaissance in Vancouver and was written by Dan Botch, Garrett Ward, Parker Graye and Annika Catharina.
