Volunteer Work & Hockey

I was down at the studios on Byrne Road again, but this time to do some volunteer work. A directors workshop for sitcoms was taking place this week and they needed a few of us to do some acting! We used the various stages on the "Mr. Young" set to do some filming. It was actually my first time at this stage and this workshop was the first of its kind in BC! American sitcom directors flew-up here to teach their various techniques to Canadian directors. The "Mr. Young" TV series shoots with a live studio audience, so if you want to take part in the laughter next season, give them a call at 604-433-0779. What was supposed to be a volunteer stand-in job, turned into a free actors workshop for me and the others! The experience was great and we all had so much fun! :-)

Big thanks to ShowBiz Management and to Sandra Ken Freeman for this opportunity!!! In the evening, it was time to do some skating! Bruce and a couple of his friends came out tonight. "I'm gonna carve you up!" AlMo in the house! Rich! Steve! We got lucky on tonight's session. The rink attendant didn't come to kick us off the ice when our time was up, so we played for an extra hour! The Oval is an incredible facility. I still can't get over the fact that we use an elevator to get to the change rooms. LOL! "I want to be on Team Jacob!"
