Don’t miss a chance to see Charlie Ross as he performs his ‘One Man Lord of the Rings!’ at the Intrepid Theatre in Victoria, BC.
“Charlie Ross is back home in Victoria for two special performances of his hugely successful show, One Man Lord of the Rings. Ross rose to fame with his Fringe show, One Man Star Wars, which developed into a global phenomenon, gathering five star reviews across the globe and showing everywhere from Off-Broadway in New York to Glastonbury Music Festival in England.”
The performances are to help raise funds for the Theatre, so you will be supporting a great cause. You can purchase tickets for the two shows directly through the Intrepid Theatre website. [Buy Tickets]
Ian Collier, Tolkien Society Publicity Officer writes: At 9pm (local times) on January 3rd fans around the world are invited to raise a glass and toast J.R.R. Tolkien’s Birthday. The toast is: “The Professor”. For those unfamiliar with British toast-drinking ceremonies: to make the Birthday Toast, you stand, raise a glass of your choice of drink (not necessarily alcoholic), and say the words ‘The Professor’ before taking a sip (or swig, if that’s more appropriate for your drink). Sit and enjoy the rest of your drink.
The Tolkien Society has some webpages for the 2010 toast where fans across the globe can let other fans know where they’ll be celebrating if they’re hosting a party, or just what particular tipple they’ll be raising. Fans will be able to check the webpage and see who is celebrating where and if they wish to get in touch and join in.
Forum member batik thought this trilogy screening at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin, TX, might be of interest: “this all-day event is an annual Alamo tradition as old as the ancients…or whenever RETURN OF THE KING came out. Each year we must gather to recount the epic quest of the hobbit Frodo and his merry band of dwarves, wizards, elves and Viggo’s. We snuggle up together and watch the entire LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY – nearly 12 hours – and get loaded to the gills with food, beer and wine all inspired by Tolkien’s Middle Earth!” The screening will be held on Sunday, November 29 starting at 10:30 a.m. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, November 3, at noon.
