If you're an "X-Files" fan and happen to be around Vancouver at the end of the month, listen up

Remember last week how I told you how the loss of The X-Files to Los Angeles was being felt by the city of Vancouver? It's like your oldest child moving off to college; your little baby is moving away from home, right, and you're not so sure they'll be the same person if or when they come back. The cast and crew who put together the show have done two very cool things for my city: one, they've given some local actors a major, major break by casting them as key secondary characters in the series (and now feature film). Second, the cast and crew have worked on a whole bunch of eclectic side-projects, both for commercial and charity causes.

With shooting of this season's finale coming up fast, the X-Files team is going to check out of Hollywood North in style. Lucas Talent, the casting agency that reps the local actors who've made it into the show have come up with a great idea for fans of the series -- and the best thing is the proceeds are going towards fighting one of the heavy hitters out there, cancer.

If you're a fan of the series or movie, or you're a Vancouver-ite or live in the American Northwest you'll want to check the special event to be held on April 20th. If you're one of CA's worldwide audience or based a little too far away to make the shindig but remain an interested fan, this is the sort of thing these guys do that makes losing the series a bitter pill to swallow for Vancouver. But you got to admit that they're leaving this 'burg for SoCal the way they arrived here: in class and style.

THE CURE IS OUT THERE

X-celerate cancer research in a special evening with X-Files' "Cancerman" and friends

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

At 8:00 PM on Monday April 20, 1998 at the Orpheum Theatre, Vancouver's own William B. Davis will be joined by many of his fellow X-Files cast members to raise money for Cancer research in a program that is sure to delight X-Files fans from all over the Lower Mainland and Pacific Northwest.

The evening will be hosted by "Lone Gunman" Dean Haglund, the star of Fox's USA "X-PO Tour". Mr. Haglund (AKA Langly) is a well known stand up comedian and his appearance will feature his (in)famous audience participation improv X-Files episode. Mr. Haglund will interview many of his co-stars and the audience will get a chance to ask their questions directly to their favourite characters in a talkback session. Other highlights will include Mr. Davis' performance piece from the "X-PO Tour" and the opportunity for audience members to win "X-Files Fan Dream Prize Packages" in an incredible raffle only available to ticketholders. This is also the first chance to hear directly from some of the stars of the top secret "X-Files" feature film that will premiere this June 19th. We will also introduce the X-Files new mystery man, Special Agent Jeffrey Spender, aka Chris Owens.

The following X-Files personalities are scheduled to appear with Messrs. Davis, Haglund and Owens (subject to their individual shooting schedules):

Tickets are $25 (plus service charges and GST) and go on sale at all Ticketmaster Ticketcentres 9:30 AM Friday March 27th or Charge-by-Phone at 280-4444 or via Internet http:\\www.ticketmaster.ca

There will be a limited number of SUPERFAN tickets available for $50 which include prime seats, an autographed photo of William B. Davis and one free entry in an exclusive Superfan Raffle.

Net Proceeds are for the benefit of The Canadian Cancer Society, British Columbia and Yukon Division.

X-FILES ROOMS BENEFIT THE CANCER SOCIETY

In conjunction with Lucas Talent Inc., The Sutton Place Hotel is pleased to co-sponsor a special X-Files evening on April 20th to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society. Dean Haglund, star of Fox's E-Files Expo Tour, will host an entertaining Question and Answer period with fellow cast members at the Orpheum Theatre for fans of the popular television series.

The Five Diamond rated Sutton Place Hotel, the favourite home-away-from-home for the Television, Film and Entertainment industry, is offering a special X-Files guestroom rate of CAD$138 for the month of April. For every X-Files guestroom sold during this cancer awareness period, The Sutton Place Hotel will contribute 10% of the total room revenue to the Canadian Cancer Society.

This limited time rate is based upon single or double occupancy plus appropriate taxes. To book the X-Files rate, reservations can be made by calling the hotel directly at 1-800-961-7555. The Sutton Place Hotel looks forward to welcoming all X-Files fans and making a contribution on their behalf to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society.
