To celebrate their golden anniversary, the Variety telethon is going back to its roots.
In a salute to its entertainment beginnings, the Show of Hearts telethon will have a second stage at The Centre at 777 Homer Street in downtown Vancouver, where live musical performances will take place throughout the two days.
“For many years, we…were showing a lot of broadcast performances. But there’s something about having that live and full effect,” said Erin Cebula, who will be hosting.
There will be some surprise guests, but this is the announced lineup so far:
Saturday, February 13
- Charlie Storwick
- Aaron Pritchett
- Five Alarm Funk
- Vancouver TheatreSports League
Sunday, February 14
- Jim Byrnes
- Barney Bentall
- Shari Ulrich
- Colleen Rennison
- Chilliwack
Tickets are $50 each and can be purchased at Event Bright. Net proceeds benefit Variety.
Last year’s telethon raised nearly six million dollars for children in British Columbia, and Variety has raised more than $18 million since 2010.
