A letter from CineCentral Secretary and Project coordinator
Dear viewer,
Back when we were Hub City Cinema Society we ran monthly improv nights and it was quite a lot of fun. We met some really wonderful people and I was honored to be a part of it. I keep running into those people in the TV ,film, and acting world today. When I found out RogersTV had a stage and some free time, I jumped at the chance to ignite that spark again... There is no shortage of creativity on this island, So here is the opportunity to get involved, play, and create something to make the world a little more fun.
Now that we've done the show a few times we've made new contacts and friendships and we continue to find value in this awesome adventure.
I look forward to hearing from you.
See ya in the Movies,
