    the magnificent Sidney Poitier

    by bella1 on 2011-10-25Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    A highlight of my year was seeing Mr. Poitier at the Jubilee Auditorium. He shared his unique and fascinating life with us very eloquently. I realize I am very lucky to have shared time with him and I hope it wasn't a once-in-a-lifetime situation...I hope he will be back!

    A demonstration of Grace and Elegance...

    by DDuck73 on 2011-10-19Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Sir Sidney was ever more graceful and elegant as his on-screen portrayals..His story-telling was a weave of insight, hindsight, and to hear the fortune teller - foresight... The encounters with various 'angels' (I would describe as them) reminded us all, and me personally that sometimes it's NOT All about ourselves, but perhaps that little bit of paying it forward, and of self-less giving might not be of any consequences to our own time and energy, though it might change the whole world of anothers'...

    Best Evening Ever

    by jadie on 2011-10-18Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    I was so excited to have gone to this event. If there was ever a person I wanted to see and meet, it was Mr. Poitier. I was thrilled to have Mr. Poitier sign my book as it was his first book ever written. What an amazing man and so encouraging to hear him speak. This will be a night I will never forget. Thank you to all who had a hand in making this happen and thank you to Mr. Poitier for taking the time to come to Canada to speak to us. You will never know how much it meant to me to have shaken your hand and have you write in my book, thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

    Once in a Lifetime Opportunity

    by MagnaAnima on 2011-10-15Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    I took notes during the speaking engagement by Sidney and was incredibly impressed and not surprised at the depth of wisdom and multitude of unique and memorable comments. He truly is a great orator and great and human being. His body of work will not soon be forgotten. Overall very engageful with audience, candid and still lively at his advanced age.

    Introduction to Mr. Poitier was out of place.

    by Joey222 on 2011-10-15Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Mr. Poitier's presentation was good. Improvements could be made by not projecting the Poitier poster on the screen above him - that was a distraction. His warmth was evident and a welcomed experience. He was great in question period, but dodged some good questions and many questions were not of the highest quality (not his fault). Very good presentation overall. Introduction by the representatives of "Name Dropping Productions" was totally out of place and a torture for me to sit through. We came to see and hear Poitier, and a direct, warm and brief intro would have been better. We did not come to hear about their experience in preparing the show and their general fawning over Mr. Poitier. Sorry if that is too harsh, and I do not mean to hurt feelings, but the presenters of the show need to learn to let the show be shown, and stay in the background and behind the scenes, no matter how exciting the whole experience is for them, personally.
