As Clarkson Music Theatre gets ready to move into Meadowvale Theatre for its production of MAME, it's time to let you know we are indeed feeling "a little Christmas". CMT will proudly present its Christmas concert to a number of facilities, including The Post Inn, Sheridan Villa, The Wenleigh, Peel Alzheimer, Senior Life Enhancement Centre, Sun Rise Erin Mills, Evergreen, and Erin Mills Lodge through the month of December.  It's also time to get in the spirit of giving. To that end, Clarkson Music Theatre, a charitable non-profit community theatre group, donates over $5,000 annually to its favourite charities, including: Credit Valley Hospital, Jerry Love Foundation, Wellspring, Ian Anderson House, Interim Place and the Red Cross New York Relief Fund.  We are indeed grateful to all our members who allow us to fulfil our mandate to enrich our community, both culturally and financially. We all "need a little angel sitting on our shoulder... need a little Christmas now". Looking forward to seeing you all Nov.16 to 25 at Meadowvale for Mame...

Forty very enthusiastic singers from Clarkson Music Theatre sang the National Anthems - and we got the words right! - at the Sky Dome on September 16, 2012. We stayed to watch the game and of course, our Jays won against the Red Sox!  Plans are in the works to sing again at the Rogers Dome - this time for the Argo's - on October 19th.  Participants from our last "gig" have been contacted and hopefully, you can tune in to see our smiling faces once again, as we belt out "Oh Say Can you See?" and finish with "Oh Canada!"
