Fancy That!
Soo Theatre Project is excited to present Fancy That featuring the talents of Sara Swain, Lise White, and Ellen VanLaar with special musical guests Judy Hill and Dave Morrison.
Fancy That’s theme came together after Lise was asked to produce and perform in a concert highlighting French Canadian music. This performance was showcased during the spring for one of the many 350th anniversary celebrations put on throughout the 2018 year in our community. This particular concert featured a slide presentation giving the audience an opportunity to participate. The concert was such a hit, Lise was asked to put on another performance adding a bit more emphasis on their audience participation portion. Colleen Arbic, Soo Theatre board president, then suggested Lise add English songs along with her French songs to give an even broader range of audience inclusion.
Lise used a similar format to the Community Sing from the Wheatland Music Festival incorporating a folk approach, encouraging audience participation. The event would lend itself to an intergenerational experience, appealing to a range of musical genres and tastes.
Fancy That is an evening of traditional, fun and memorable music made for the whole family.
Saturday, October 13 at 7:00pm. General admission is $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for students, and free to currently enrolled STARS students.
Haunted Theatre
Soo Theatre’s Haunted Theatre is back and bigger than ever. Haunted tours will run in conjunction with the Downtown Trick or Treating Friday, October 26th from 5:00-7:00pm. Join us for a haunted walk through our theatre of fright as we partner with Bay Mills Community College, Sault High Drama, and Stars students and staff to bring you a Haunted tour to remember. If being scared is not your thing you can request a tamer tour through the theater, or simply stop in for popcorn compliments of the Soo Theatre or sweet treats from Bay Mills Community College! After a shortened route last year due to unforeseen circumstances, we are thrilled to be back in full swing and to take you on a long and scary journey through the halls of 534 Ashmun Street.
