With excitement building for the launch of the new Dunfield Theatre in Cambridge this March, Drayton Entertainment has unveiled the 2013 season consisting of blockbuster musicals, comedies, dramas, and three original productions.
Eighteen productions will fill seven stages across the province, making this the most ambitious season in the Drayton Entertainment’s history.
“This landmark season promises to be remembered for years to come,” says artistic director Alex Mustakas.
“The array of programming in our 2013 season reflects our commitment to providing quality entertainment for theatregoers of all ages and we have kept ticket prices the same as last season, making theatre accessible to all, while offering many opportunities to save even more off the regular ticket price.”

Drayton Entertainment’s newest venture will launch in March with its production of Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins. Theatregoers are invited to be a part of history in the making when this ‘practically perfect’ musical sweeps into Cambridge March 6 to April 28.
Next up, audiences will be treated to Big Band Legends, the original Drayton Entertainment production that sold out in St. Jacobs and Grand Bend in 2012.
Backed by an all-star orchestra, Big Band Legends is a high-octane show that honours the greatest crooners and songbirds of our time, from Bing Crosby to Michael Bublé, June 12 to June 22.
Then, the unapologetic musical comedy Sorry…I’m Canadian will run from July 10 to Aug. 3.
Reprising his popular character Constable Archibald F. Inkster, Neil Aitchison weaves a blend of humor and political satire with musical gems of the Great Canadian Song Book.
The life of a true artistic pioneer is celebrated in the acclaimed musical Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story. The nostalgic production explodes into full-throttled joy through renditions of the legend’s greatest hits, on stage Aug. 7 to 31.
