Season 4 2004-2005
 














The Board of The Raymond Burr Performing Arts Society is excited to welcome
to the Burr Theatre the charismatic, energetic and zany performers, the living legends of vaudeville, the Heartaches Razz Band!
 
Doug Fraser portrays the highly overpaid matinee crooner, the lovely and talented Golden Throat: idol of millions, the songbird of the West Coast and the heartthrob of America. Doug Fraser acts, sings and dances his way into the hearts of dozens. He plays banjo, guitar, ukulele, kazoo, duck call, bass jug and is unquestionably the world's greatest washboard player.

 

   
Ron Davies, aka Ron Richtofen, actor, singer, upright bass player, upright bagpipe player and guitarist; a man with more talent in his little finger, than he has in his index finger. Many believe that his most likable quality is his sense of personal humility, despite the fact that he constantly whispers, “I am better than you.”

 

   
Bob Wishinski, musical director since 1978, spoken of as " the one and only "Bob", developed the part of Professor Phineas Harguff: vocalist and carouser, piano contortionist, master violinist, actor and liquor connoisseur extraordinary. He came from mixed parentage, one male, one female, and is best known for his unique collection of humorous cummerbunds. The critic’s quote: Professor Phineas Harguff is undoubtedly Canada’s genius keyboard player.”

 

   
Hugh Milligan, internationally acclaimed home recording artist, performs as "Prince Milligan". His new love for jazz is only exceeded by his loyalty to his mother. He is said to be Queen Elizabeth’s illegitimate son and a candidate for the British throne. Percussionist, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, recording artist, these are all words that he understands. He brings to the stage an entire set of drums

 

   
Harry: It was the Professor who captured Harry in the jungles of Africa while on safari. What the Professor was doing in the jungle we do not know. How Harry was able to sign on with a safari is anybody’s guess. Ever since, The Professor has had to begrudgingly share a hotel room with Harry while touring on the road. This is not permitted in many of the finest hotels unless the Professor passes Harry off as his wife. Often, this is candidly accepted by hotel administration without an argument. This infuriates the Professor, who secretly believes he could do better.
