From the creators of Despicable Me and the imagination of Dr. Seuss comes the 3D-CG feature ‘DR. SEUSS' THE LORAX’, an adaptation of the classic tale of a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope.  The animated adventure follows the journey of a 12-year-old as he searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams.  To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.  
 
Danny DeVito will lend his vocal talents to the iconic title character of the Lorax, while Ed Helms will voice the enigmatic Once-ler.  Also bringing their talents to the film are global superstars Zac Efron as Ted, the idealistic youth who searches for the Lorax, and Taylor Swift as Audrey, the girl of Ted’s dreams.  Rob Riggle will play financial king O’Hare, and beloved actress Betty White will portray Ted’s wise Grammy Norma.  
 
‘DR. SEUSS' THE LORAX’ is the 3rd feature created by Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me, Hop).

THERE IS NO STOPPING COUNTRY SUPERSTAR CHARLEY PRIDE

THERE IS NO STOPPING

COUNTRY SUPERSTAR

CHARLEY PRIDE.

Country music superstar, Charley Pride returns to Calgary by popular demand.

Country Music fans know that for sheer enjoyment and classy entertainment, the Country music mega star is Traditional and Timeless.

Charley Pride’s story reads like an engaging movie script but every moment is captivatingly true.  From his youth in the cotton-picking fields of Sledge, Mississippi to his determination to sing the music of people, it has been one life dedicated to desire to share his vocal talents and spell-binding personality with millions of fans the world over.

His hand picked band, the Pridesmen, are second to none and accompany the perennial hit maker with distinction.

Much has been written and said about the Pride of Country Music but this master showman can be summed up in two words – He’s Traditional, He’s Timeless, He’s still Charley Pride.

Charley Pride and the Pridesmen return to Calgary at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium at 2 PM on Sunday, June 3rd, 2012.  Tickets make a great Christmas gift and are now on sale at all Ticketmaster outlets.
