The Drayton Rotary and Kinette Clubs have announced two additions to the acts scheduled to perform at the 2nd annual Drayton’s Got Talent show.
Rotarian Lorrie Spaling confirmed there are 27 acts booked for the show on Nov. 28.
Local talent includes vocalists, musicians and dancers. Elvis will be in the building, as well.
“This year we are excited to have bassoonist Nadina Mackie-Jackson, who recently moved to Drayton,” Spaling said. “She will be performing with her friend and fellow bassoonist, Catherine Chen, from the Toronto Symphony.”
Mackie-Jackson and Chen both have an impressive list of musical achievements, she added. Mackie-Jackson recently went on tour with Canadian folk legend Valdy and has performed across Canada with numerous symphony orchestras.
Chen is currently the associate principal bassoon with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Her past accomplishments include performances with various symphony orchestras in the United States.
“It will be a fun-filled evening for the audience with the addition of these two ladies. Along with our local talent, we are sure to have a successful event,” Spaling said.
Tickets for a fundraising draw with proceeds going toward the proposed splash pad in Drayton can be purchased until intermission during the show. The raffle draw will take place after intermission for autographed jerseys, a beer fridge, theatre tickets and more.
Admission to the talent show at the Drayton Festival Theatre at 7pm is by donation. For more information contact Lorrie Spaling at 519-638-2232.
