ALWAYS BETTER – ALWAYS BETTER READ Leslie Ayuneye (Lindballe) is a passionate supporter of The Bailey Theatre. She will take part in the virtual party tomorrow as both a musician and the show’s host. Leslie will sing one of her very own songs with a resonating message of love being the ultimate cure-all.
A virtual concert on Facebook on Wednesday, May 20 at 7 p.m., will signal that a full nine years have passed since The Bailey’s grand renovation and reopening as a treasured venue for concerts and performances. Many hours in this unsettled period of time have been invested in attracting musicians and performers from across Canada who have ties, or passion, for the grand old rejuvenated theatre. Participants were invited to share a song or a message to the online audience for this uplifting, virtual fundraising celebration. The evening will feature well-known artists, local talent and up-and-coming stars. Music that’s good for the soul, from country to classical, will be presented to the online audience. Support The Bailey Theatre and help it’s current challenge – join the celebration this Wednesday.

The Bailey Theatre’s 110-year history is full of ups and downs. The story of this magnificent old entertainment facility might best be described as one of remarkable resilience. To date, it has survived the Spanish Flu of 1918 and 1919, and both World Wars. In March of this year, paid staff had to be laid off in view of the current coronavirus. The facility was left in the hands of an optimistic and incredibly devoted roster of volunteers who are successfully helping to guide The Bailey Theatre through COVID-19.
