2015 is Clarkson Music Theatre’s Year to Celebrate!

Hello friends of Clarkson Music Theatre,

Thought we’d give you a heads up on special events offered by Clarkson Music Theatre to celebrate our 70^th year of entertaining Mississauga.

First, we are pleased to announce the artistic team for our November production of Hello Dolly. We welcome Michael MacLennan as director / choreographer and Jenny Peace as Music Director. Producers are Rita Ferguson, Christine McMahon, Susan Wray Toogood and Donnie Morris (associate producer). To be a part of this great classic Broadway show, come to our Information Night May 13 at Christ Church. Auditions will be on May 25 and 26, with call backs May 28. More details will be posted mid-March. Hello Dolly runs at Meadowvale Theatre Nov.20 to 29, with a special Gala reception planned… stay tuned.

 Second, it’s not too late to sign up for either Jan.25 or Feb.1 to audition for the 70^th Anniversary Concert, presented April 24 and 25 at Eden United Church, under the direction of Anthony Bastianon. Rehearsals begin March 4^th and run Wednesdays and Fridays till we open. For more information you can contact us through our website, or book an audition with ritaferguson20@gmail.com.

Finally, hold the date! Clarkson Celebrates 70 Years. The CMT Community comes together on May 2^nd to celebrate with a special evening of food and entertainment. Our venue – the original Christ Church – was where Clarkson Music Theatre began 70 years ago, and we thought it more than fitting to return to our roots, and to highlight some of our achievements in an evening filled with friends, memorabilia, a light repast, and special entertainment from some of Clarkson’s favourite entertainers. Watch out for your invitation arriving in March. Tickets are $30 and seating is limited. Come back to Clarkson for this special event.

Thus 2015 truly is a Happy New Year for CMT!  We look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve our community through charitable donations, to welcome both new comers and old friends to our upcoming events, and to our on-going tradition of entertaining Mississauga as we have done for the past seventy years.  Thank You to all who have made this journey possible and who continue to support us in what we do!  Happy New Year all!!!
