2/6/2010
Tickets on Sale for Drayton Entertainment’s 2010 Season
Monday, February 8th, 2010
PENETANGUISHENE – Drayton Entertainment has unveiled its 2010 playbill, which consists of a world premiere production, smash-hit Broadway shows, lively dramas, and lighthearted comedies. Twenty-one productions will be presented at six historic venues in four distinctive Ontario destinations, in an impressive season that begins this April and continues right through December.
“Drayton Entertainment strives to provide audiences with the best choices for their entertainment dollar and we are delighted by the enthusiastic response to our 2010 Season,” says Artistic Director Alex Mustakas.
Tickets officially went on sale to the general public January 4th.
“The diverse mix of programming in our 2010 Season combined with our commitment to providing quality professional entertainment at a price that is accessible to everyone, is the very foundation of the unique Drayton Experience,” says Mustakas. “We are excited to provide so many different kinds of audiences with opportunities to experience the magic of live theatre.”

An instant sensation on Broadway, the 2010 Season kicks-off June 9th through June 26th with The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, a quirky musical comedy about a charming cast of outsiders for whom the spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out, yet fit in, all at the same time.
The fun continues in the touching relationship comedy On Golden Pond. A couple’s getaway plans are thrown for a loop when an unruly teenager forces them to navigate the generation gap through tart-tongued observations on fishing, literature, marriage … and mortality. With its heartwarming message about enjoying the everyday moments in life, On Golden Pond speaks to all generations of theatergoers June 30th through July 17th.
When a nosy spinster tries to expose the seemingly scandalous affair of her beloved vicar’s wife in the outrageous comedy See How They Run, a tranquil English village becomes the centre of chaos and confusion. This marathon of laughs runs from July 21st through August 7th.
Georgian Bay will be buzzing when celebrated Australian choreographer Dein Perry and his multi-award-winning tap dance sensation Tap Dogs take over the King’s Wharf Theatre in August. This electrifying show has wowed audiences the world over. It starts with the pitter-patter of a lone tapper, but before you know it, the stage is rumbling, sparks are flying and six incredible male dancers are stamping their way across a construction-site set made of steel. Don’t miss the energy… don’t miss the sweat… don’t miss the hottest show on legs August 11th through September 4th.
The 2010 Season is proudly sponsored by ‘A’ News, Barrie.
