Dutch classic runs Dec. 18 to 20
Grinder Productions presents Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates, a Christmas show for the entire family, Dec. 18, 19, and 20 at the Grand Theatre here.
The classic Dutch Christmas story is known to many; a poor but noble family, a deep secret, and an incredible act of kindness, but for those who are not familiar with the events, the play will serve as an introduction.
Written in a light-hearted, easy-to-understand manner, the show is perfect for children and families. It has a large cast of performers young and old.
Grinder Productions Creative and Executive Director Eric Goudie said, “When I first chose the show, the economy was doing fine.
“ then, things have gotten a lot worse, and there are now going to be a lot more people right here in Centre Wellington who will face many of the same hardships as the Brinker family this Christmas.”
Tickets are $15 each, with a group rate of $12 each for groups of ten or more. Children (and teens participating in the Eyego program) can get tickets for $5. Goudie hopes that will make it possible for young people to come to the show.
Tickets are available by calling the Fergus Grand Theatre box office at 519-787-1981, or visiting the theatre at 244 St. Andrew Street West in Fergus.
