But this isn't the rst time the pair have shared the stage in the same production. Two years ago, Sebastian and his mom appeared in Burloak Theatre's Schoolhouse, where he was cast as one of the leads and Zabek as his mother. Sebastian says he enjoys acting in the same plays as his mom as it makes him feel less self-conscious, knowing she's there supporting him. Zabek says she takes advantage of being able to spend time with her son and share their similar passions. In the inset, Sebastian's Pinocchio comes to life in front of Gepetto (played by Ken Holden). Pinocchio continues on stage until Sunday (Nov. 30). | photo by Graham Paine, inset by Riziero Vertolli ­ Oakville Beaver (Follow on Twitter @halton_photog or www.facebook.com/HaltonPhotog) Johannes Linstead in Concert Benefit concert features top young Canadian musicians The Canadian Music Competition (CMC) is hosting a bene t concert at the Oakville Club Sunday (Nov. 30) featuring some of Canada's top young classical musicians.
