The Lunchbox 2020-11-05: Transformative Performance

On the show:

Redheads, rejoice! It’s Love Your Red Hair Day.
“Remember, remember, the 5th of November.” Infamous words about a turbulent time, sometimes referred to as Gunpowder Day or Guy Fawkes Day.
“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Or, as one of my former managers put it: “You have to have a plan; only then can you deviate from it!” It’s not easy to wrangle cats, to hats off for Project Management Day.

Feature presentation:

The Silver Wave Film Festival starts tonight with a gala presentation of Bone Cage. Back in 2018, I spoke with Len Falkenstein, Alex Pannier and Devin Rockwell who were performing in Theatre UNB’s stage version of the original play.
And in 2017, I spoke with one of 2020’s Faces of Mental Illness (as decided by Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health (CAMIMH)), author Keith Lyons about his book Oh No, It’s Thursday!
Lainie B brought another Positive Song For Pandemics, this time bringing out a classic: Elvis Costello‘s (What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding.

As mentioned before the Silver Wave Film Festival starts tonight, and many of the streamed movies are going to be free for folks from the Maritimes.
