Attend any Soo Theatre Project class, event, or production and you can sense its history. After all, it’s obvious that the front lobby used to be Peter Gianakura’s American Café with the large mirror and the pieces of memorabilia on the wall. For 43 years the American Café served food and created lifetime memories for local residents and tourists alike.
One step into the theatre itself and it’s as if history comes rushing to meet and greet you personally. It’s unavoidable.
In honoring The Soo Theatre Project’s past, many people utilize and enjoy its current offerings such ongoing lessons, one-time classes, and special events like the “A Feast To Die For” mystery dinner happening today.
Antler’s Restaurant was full with a practically sold out audience by those wanting a unique dining experience last Sunday. Linda Beaumont stated, “The ‘who done it’ mystery was fun to follow while trying to figure it out right up the very end. Our friends enjoyed it well enough to make plans with us for the next one.”
Today’s “A Feast To Die For” mystery dinner is your last opportunity to experience it. Come, enjoy, and live in the present moment with The Soo Theatre Project while you dine and decide “who dunnit.”
STP is already planning the next mystery dinner! For those interested in participating as an actor or actress, please contact The Soo Theatre Project office even if you have previously expressed your interest.
This Thursday is the last of the three-session ballroom dancing workshops taught by Joe Sbar and sponsored by The Soo Theatre Project and The Academy of Performing Arts. Join the fun as dancers learn East Coast Swing this Thursday from 8:00 to 9:30 pm at The Big Bear. No experience or dance partner necessary. Wear socks if you don’t own dance shoes.
Not only does STP honor its past and live in the present moment, but it also plans the future. While many classes, events, or productions are always happening at STP, such as the upcoming “Arty Party” with artist Randy Krause on Friday, November 28 at 7 pm, there is one special holiday event happening next month: The Annual Holiday Tour of Homes!
As always, there’s a top-notch list of homes to walk through and take in the holiday decor. Coed Flowers and Gifts and Petals on Ashmun have graciously agreed again this year to assist with fresh holiday arrangements in each home.
