–at new Rahaman’s Park venue
APPROACHING its 30th showing, the Link Show has opted to celebrate the milestone at Parc Rayne, Rahaman’s Park at Houston, E.B.D., and not at the traditional National Cultural Centre.The show’s Director, Ron Robinson, said at a Friday press conference that certain maintenance issues that would affect the quality of production and the comfort of patrons have influenced the decision taken.

“We can assure patrons that they have nothing to fear from the seating or the ambience,” Robinson said. He also said that Parc Rayne, which provides seating for up to 1,200 persons, will provide a more intimate setting for staging of the show. As a bonus, he said, there is no dress code in effect, and patrons would be allowed to bring snacks.

Co-producer of the show, Mrs Gem Madhoo-Nascimento, has said that the occasion will be marked by a gala event held for the first night, and patrons will be able to win prizes every night according to their seat numbers. Sponsors of the prizes, numbering over 100, include King’s Jewellery World; Bounty Farms Ltd; German’s; Nigel’s Supermarket; and the Arrowpoint, Hurakabra and Splashmin’s resorts.

The show will first run on Feb 20, 21 and 22, breaking for Mashramani before concluding on the night of February 24.
Gala tickets cost $4,000, while other tickets cost $1,500 and $2,000., and are available at the venue.
