\"LunchBox\"<\/a>Our community is wonderfully diverse, so it only follows that the community show — The Lunchbox — is also similarly diverse! Today, a trio of great interviews with three very different facets of our community: community organization, the arts, and gaming for charity.<\/p>\n

First up, John Coates<\/strong>, one of the founder of The Great Gathering in Fredericton<\/span>, joins me to talk about where the idea for the Gathering came from, what sorts of discussions happen there, and about it offers a very unique mingling and melding of perspectives to make our community even better. The Great Gathering 2014<\/strong> will be held on March 15, starting at 8:30am<\/strong>, and held at the Fredericton Exhibition Centre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Secondly, after having some communication issues on Thursday, I was finally able to get Tim Turnell<\/strong> on the phone. Tim is the story adapter, head dog washer, lead performer and director of a one-man monologue storytelling play entitled The Man Who Disliked Cats<\/em><\/a> which opens tonight at TNB at 55 Whiting Road<\/strong>. The show runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 7:30pm<\/strong>, with a special “pay-what-you-can” matinee performance at 2pm on Sunday<\/strong>. We talk cats, acting and the hope that theatre will remain vital both inside this province and in the general world.<\/p>\n

Finally, I have a brief chat with Joshua Green<\/strong> in Newfoundland. He’s organized a group of videogame-playing friends to do what they love to raise money for the charity Special Effect<\/span>. The group called Stream2Help <\/a>will be playing video games for 24 hours and streaming<\/strong> their performance to raise funds for a charity which makes specially-adapted hardware to allow disadvantaged children to play. We talk gaming, charity and how the Internet has brought those two things together.<\/p>\n
