Paul Hartmann at Owen Sound Cultural Awards
Paul Hartmann and Rob McLean
David Sereda and Joan Chandler of Sheatre, Rob McLean
Our XENOVISION CEO/President Paul Hartmann channeled his brother Phil’s best Ed McMahon last night in introducing Rob McLean, emcee for the 2nd Annual Owen Sound Cultural Awards, held at the Roxy Theatre. McLean, the multitalented musician/writer/producer, is best known for his association with the Canadian Comedy Awards and Festival (to be hosted by Dave Foley this year), and his lighthearted look at Elvis impersonators (with creative partner Tim Progosh) in the documentary, King for a Day.
Paul had the additional honor and pleasure of presenting the Creation Award for Theatre to Sheatre, the Owen Sound area award winning arts organization. Joan Chandler, Artistic Director of Sheatre, was the recipient of the 1st Annual Phil Hartman Arts and Humanitarian Award, presented in late September at the Brantford Comedy Festival.
Reality Imitates Art: Barack Obama, Phil Hartman, Bill Clinton and SNL
Barack Obama eats a sausage burger in Miami, asks reporters not to tell his wife:
When the last Democratic president took office, “Saturday Night Live”‘s Phil Hartman deliciously spoofed Bill Clinton’s visit to McDonald’s…..It’s hard to imagine a similar exchange didn’t occur between Obama and his people when he made a quick stop to get a bite of the Frita and down a Coke, particularly because the current first lady has chosen to champion fitness, claiming that good habits start at home and involve vegetables and cutting down on soda.

PHIL HARTMAN ART EXHIBIT AND AUCTION
Plans are underway for an exhibit and auction of original Phil Hartman art to be held in Brantford, Owen Sound and Toronto, Ontario . Fourteen drawings will be on display, beginning in January in Brantford, Phil’s hometown at The Station Coffee House and Gallery. Â Plans for an online auction of three original pieces of art are underway, with proceeds from the auction benefiting the Stedman Community Hospice in Brantford, as well as Sheatre, the award winning community theatre located in Kemble, Ontario.
These never before seen pieces by Hartman were “rescued” by Paul Hartmann, Phil’s younger brother, and our XENOVISION CEO/President after Phil’s death in 1998. Included in the exhibit will be the complete set of ink drawings done by Phil of the planned XENOVISION productions  of Yogi and The Kid and original sketches of Edgar Screwhead.
Stay tuned to XENOVISION for up to date news about this exciting event!
