Established last year as a charity organisation, Elitte Club Limited ministers to the spiritually renewed and the impoverished. It gives support to the less-fortunate and vulnerable people throughout Jamaica, as its goal is to improve the health, economic, social and spiritual challenges of the men, women and children it serves.
Elitte Club Limited raises funds and provides direct relief assistance to the poor, usually by purchasing specifically-requested materials and distributing them through churches and charity organisations already operating in areas of need.
To raise funds for its annual children's Christmas treat and to assist with the purchase of a wheelchair for the St Catherine Infirmary, Elitte Club will host a benefit performance of Me and Mi Chapsie at 8:30 p.m. on Friday, November 13, at The Pantry Playhouse, New Kingston.
Me and Mi Chapsie, Aston Cooke's latest theatre offering, is a hilarious romantic comedy. It follows Cooke's highly successful productions of Concubine and Pupalick. Set in Kingston, the high-spirited comedy, directed by Michael Nicholson, tackles the once-taboo romantic encounters between an older woman and her younger lover.
Bridging the age, class divides
After a failed 20-year marriage, Marilyn, a 55-year-old Jamaican advertising executive, meets a 22-year-old dancehall selector when she visits a local dance. Sparks fly and they begin dating against the advice of her friends and colleagues. Marilyn is determined to prove that true love can bridge the gaps between age and class divides.
Me and Mi Chapsie boasts an outstanding line-up of some of Jamaica's finest actors. The top-flight cast includes 2007 Actor Boy Best Actress Dahlia Harris, the bubbly Zandriann Maye, who won Actor Boy Best Supporting Actress last year, and hot-ticket comedic actor Everaldo Creary, supported by newcomers Marsha Campbell and Danar Royal.
