April 20th was a big day for theatre in Halifax, NS! Neptune Theatre announced their line up for the 2017-2018 season. It was an exciting and laid back event full of beverages and free subs courtesy of Subway!
The cast of ONCE gave a golden performance with their song "Gold" to open the event!
Neptune announced that there are changes that will be made to "give patrons a more comfortable experience"
New seating plan for their main stage, Foundatin Hall. Isles will be wider to give easier access.
Rebecca LeBlanc, Chair of the Board of Directors at Neptune, discussed how "supporting Neptune helps to build a strong and vibrant community" and helps to create the kind of environment for students and province. More than 1000 students build confidence in the Neptune Theatre School.
The event recognized many businesses old and new that support Neptune Theatre; including Sun Life Financial to donate tickets to non profit organizations.
For the first time in a number of years, Neptune Theatre will be having a summer season with the opening of STAN ROGERS: A MATTER OF HEART - a Canadian based show.
Artistic Director, George Pothitos, closed his eighth and final season by announcing new shows for the following year including: IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, THE MOUNTAIN TOP, DICKEN'S A CHRISTMAS CAROL, MAMMA MIA! and many more!
What is nice about the mix of the season is that we receive Canadian works; the production of SEEDS regarding a court case in Saskatchewan and the focus of the STAN ROGERS: A MATTER OF HEART.
Thank you Neptune for all of the work that you continue you do for those in the industry, students, audience members and the community. I look forward to many events and to help support you as best I can!
