In 1970 I first stepped foot onto the stage of the O'Keefe Centre. It was the biggest room I had ever seen. Since then it has been my pleasure to add sizzle to Operas, Ballets, Concerts and Corporate Events on that stage. In 1996 we helped launch the newly renamed Hummingbird Centre, and now, after a two year renovation, on the 50th anniversary of the original opening night of the O'Keefe, we were back at One Front St. E., now The Sony Centre, with 1000 pounds of propane and the flames of 19 custom-made braziers to outline the magnificently restored marquee and once again welcome an opening night audience to this iconic venue.
