You\u2019re in your landspeeder, zipping along the desert horizon to the Langara oasis for the opening production of Studio 58\u2019s 2065 season! It features the usual outstanding student acting and production talent, plus a very special guest sponsored by the Studio 58 Legacy Fund, which <em>you<\/em> helped start back in 2015. \u201cWho\u2019d they bring in this year?\u201d you wonder, doing a portal scan through the virtual implants in your right eye. \u201cAh, they\u2019ve got Antony Holland again. Bravo!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Holland founded Studio 58 in 1965 (at 94, he is Canada\u2019s oldest working actor) and the Studio 58 Legacy Fund was created to celebrate the school\u2019s 50th anniversary and help carry on its tradition of excellence. The fund will help expand the scope of Studio 58\u2019s productions by providing exceptional practical learning opportunities not otherwise available within the program\u2019s regular operating budget, allowing the hiring of guest artists to work on productions, and permitting the program to offer special workshops, mentorships, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The fundraiser\u2019s goal? To establish an endowment of at least $250,000 \u2013 and Langara College will match every dollar raised before March 31, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Performances play a crucial part within the total program. In the past \u2013 through special grant funding or partnerships with outside agencies and companies \u2013 Studio 58 was able to enhance the student experience through co-productions, special workshops and mentorships. Sadly, the financial landscape has changed hugely since 1965, which is why the school is now reaching out for help.<\/p>\n<p>Studio 58 has never done anything like this, and is unlikely to again.
