Happy New Year!
Stay connected with us in 2022
Thank you to everyone who joined us in person at the Hamilton Family Theatre Cambridge and St. Jacobs Country Playhouse for Back Home for the Holidays and A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline. We received such wonderful feedback on both productions, and it was a joy to see these stages and auditoriums alive with music, laughter, and people experiencing the magic of live theatre together again. It's unfortunate that rising Omicron numbers have shuttered our operations for the time being, but we remain optimistic that there will be live theatre on stage soon.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have made the health and safety of audiences, artists, staff, volunteers, and our communities a top priority. The live entertainment industry was one of the first sectors impacted by COVID-19, and it will undoubtedly be one of the last to recover. Given the constantly changing government guidelines and the unpredictable nature of this virus, it is difficult to know when we will be able to reopen our theatres again in a way that is both safe and financially viable. With that in mind, we have chosen to hold off on making any programming announcements too far in advance. We are planning for shows to be on stage in 2022, but the exact nature and timing is yet to be determined.
We want to stay connected with you. Given that performances could be announced on short notice, e-mail is our primary form of communication with audiences. If you are not already on our e-mail list, please click here to sign up now. If you have an account with us but are unsure if you are on the e-mail list, please contact our Box Office at boxoffice@draytonentertainment.com or leave a message for us at 1-855-372-9866 and we will make sure the contact information we have for you is correct. We pride ourselves on exceptional customer service. Although our Box Offices are closed to in-person traffic, our staff are ready to assist you by email or phone.
Lastly, we hope you'll have a little fun and support the arts at the same time by playing the monthly Ultimate 50/50 draw. This raffle has been a lifeline for us over the last year as we have continued to navigate this challenging time. Get tickets for the current draw at www.drayton5050.com. Thank you to everyone who has participated in the draw to date. It's been so entertaining to watch people from across the province take home incredible jackpots – the largest prize to date was over $139,000!
Please "look on the bright side of life," take care, and stay safe. We are very fortunate to have such a loyal audience. Know that we appreciate your support and patience so much. As soon as we have news to share, you'll be the first to hear from us!
