Dreamgirls and An Enchanted Evening for Valentines Day
“YES: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his
punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” - Oscar Wilde

I

leave behind my limits...that’s my credo
for the new year.
I used to be a Travel Consultant, therefore traveling comes more often and was part of my old job.
Now a d ay s , being a full
time Carer for my 84 year-old
mother, I can only travel in my
dreams.
D r e a m s can take many
forms or shapes. I am privileged
to be involved as Director with a
tribute to the Dreamgirls as part
of the coming “Hawaiian Night /
An Enchanted Evening” February 15 as part of Helen Shaw Designs & Events production here
in Perth.
Dreamgirls is a film à clef
of the histories of the Motown
record label and one of its acts,
The Supremes.
The story follows the histo-

ry and evolution of American
R&B music during the 1960s
and 1970s through the eyes of
a Detroit, Michigan girl group
