On Oct. 31 The Grand Impresarios are presenting some family friendly fun starting at 12 noon at the Fergus Grand Theatre.
As part of the Halloween Haunt Street Walk in downtown Fergus, the “Halloween Matinee” is for theatre goers young and old. The lineup includes a goofy ghoul for a host, a short selection from On the Spot Productions’ upcoming performance of Sleeping Beauty, music by Madison Galloway, and a “Costume and Candy” parade across the stage.
The Halloween Matinee is the first of a series of events being produced by The Grand Impresarios at the Fergus Grand Theatre this fall. The Grand Impresarios are members of a class in event production being offered by the theatre, and have been meeting weekly since early September. Members have been brainstorming ideas for shows and productions that will allow them to utilize the skills acquired during the course.
“I’m thrilled the class has chosen to produce this event for the community,” said Eric Goudie, Fergus Grand Theatre coordinator. “It’s great to see downtown businesses and the theatre working together in this way.”
Admission is “pay what you can,” with no minimum price. The proceeds from this show will go towards helping The Grand Impresarios to cover the costs associated with putting on the event, as well providing the class with a budget to produce other events coming up later in the fall.
