  SUMMER FUN THEATER SERIES

  Convenor: Jenny O'Brien

  Cost: $54

  Date: Thursday August 29

  Lunch: 11:45  Harvest Moon Family Restaurant, 5 Parkside Dr. St. Jacobs

  Showtime: 2 pm  Hildebrand Schoolhouse Theatre 11 Albert St.W. St. Jacobs

  Join us for the last of our summer fun theater series, where we'll head back to St. Jacobs, this time to the Hildebrand Schoolhouse Theatre. Seating for this show is a little different from your normal theater, with seats being at round tables in an intimate and cozy setting.

  
  

  As always, Drayton Entertainment will amaze us with their talented performers as we take a step back in time with the effervescent and irresistible musical revue, The Marvelous Wonderettes. Join Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy, and Suzy at the Springfield High School class of 1958 Super Senior Prom, as these four best friends navigate relationships, growing up, and following their dreams.  As we learn about their lives and loves, the girls serenade with classic ’50s hits: “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “Stupid Cupid,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” and more. Flash forward a decade later, and the Wonderettes are brought together for their 10-year reunion, while tackling a new decade of hits – “Heat Wave,” “Leader of the Pack,” “Rescue Me,” “RESPECT,” and more. With over 30 tunes spanning 20 years, The Marvelous Wonderettes will keep you smiling throughout this fun and frothy nostalgic musical trip down memory lane. 

  
  

  Join us for lunch first, at the Harvest Family Moon Restaurant, where their great menu is offered at great prices.  Please indicate your interest in joining us for lunch so we can book accordingly. Please register on Wild Apricot starting on May 16.

  Tickets are limited to 24 seats, so book quickly to ensure your seat at the ‘table’.
