We think it is about time that Peter Rolston GET A STAR TOO.
Peter Rolston was born in Vancouver BC on January 12 1936.
For twenty years he entertained hundreds of people through his very popular children's shows on BCTV.The first Pete's Place aired on July 19, 1965. Others were privileged to see or hear his act on cruise ships, exhibitions and festivals all over cities and towns in our western provinces. Others were entertained at children's birthday parties and adult parties. He also gave his time to make children laugh at BC Childrens Hospital and the Varity Club Telethon.
Those of us who grew up in the Lower Mainland remember fondly witnessing Peters talent as a comedian, magician, and ventriloquist on local television programs
In 1960, the year BCTV was born as CHAN TV, Goeff Theobald, engage Peter as a recurring novelty performer in Fun Fair our live Saturday kids' show. As a ventriloquist, he excelled in breathing life into otherwise inanimate objects, but he soon proved versatile enough as a performer to become a featured character on Side Show Planet Pals and finally, Pete Place.
In 1974 he published he's first book "The Magic of Voice Throwing". He did this in response to fan letters from children and young-at-heart adults who want to become ventriloquists.
Peter Rolston also won an Actra award in 1978 for the best childrens show,Pete's Place.
Because of Peter Rolston's influence there is a new generation of children's entertainers carrying on his legacy.
It is time Peter Rolston was inducted into this prestigious group of entertainers. Peter is part of British Columbia's broadcasting history.
HE DESERVES A STAR!!
