This past Saturday the stars came out in support of Gilda’s Club of Greater Toronto, an organization founded to honour the memory of Gilda Radner who lost her battle with ovarian cancer in 1989. While she was in treatment she visited a support community in Los Angeles, where she found herself bonding with other people going through the same experience as her. It was Gilda’s dream that communities such as that exist all over the world so that anyone whose lives had been touched by cancer could have a support network. The first Gilda’s Club opened in New York City in 1995, and the Toronto branch opened its doors in 2001.

It’s Always Something is an annual benefit supporting Gilda’s Club of Greater Toronto. The special evening brings together all kinds of talents in a unique variety style show that is guaranteed to entertain. In its eleventh year the show is still going strong, and this year featured performances by Nelly Furtado, Glass Tiger, Louise Pitre, Ron James and Eric McCormack and was hosted by Russell Peters. It was a fantastic evening which featured many laughs, a few tears and wonderful music.

After the show, guests mingled in the lobby of The Sony Centre and enjoyed scrumptious food and plentiful drink as they shared memories of people whose lives had been touched by cancer and who had benefited from Gilda’s Club. Despite the sombre nature of the event, it was an evening of celebration that focused on all the wonderful things that make life worth living and worth fighting for.

BWW was thrilled to be on hand for our second consecutive year with the organization in order to capture photos of all the incredible performances.

LIVE UPDATE:

WICKED vs. THE BOOK OF MORMON for Best Revival of a Play and More...

Kelly Cameron's love affair with the theatre began when she was just five years old, on an outing to see the Original Canadian Cast of Les Miserables at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto. She instantly fell in love, and since then has been lucky enough to be involved in various theatre activities and productions, including a regional production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and a local production of Where the Sidewalk Ends. She has also received training from various teachers throughout Southwestern Ontario in both piano and voice, and competed in vocal competitions for which she received a few awards. Her writing career started almost by accident, when she had the opportunity to become a ghostwriter for up and coming businesses. She continues to do this, writing the content for all sorts of companies who are starting websites and looking to find their voice.

Her passion and love for theatre led to her becoming involved with BroadwayWorld where she is thrilled to be writing for the Toronto contingent of the rapidly growing website. When she isn't at the theatre, you can generally find her firmly planted in front of her trusty Blackberry - tweeting, Facebooking or partaking in other such social media activities to ensure that those who want to know are kept apprised of everything that Toronto theatre has to offer. Other interests include movies, art, music, shopping, fashion and martial arts with the occasional foray into the world of finance.
