On Sept. 29, Drayton Entertainment will open the doors of the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse and give the public free access to view the rehearsal process for its highly anticipated fall production of Sleuth.
Drayton Entertainment will provide the public with a rare theatre experience as part of its participation in the national Culture Days festivities.
The event will be followed with an intimate question and answer session with director, Marti Maraden, and rounded out with a tour of the venue’s normally restricted wardrobe and backstage facilities.
The rehearsal process for a live theatrical production is captivating to see.
Watch as a remarkably talented group of performers, behind-the-scenes crew, and technicians bring this deviously clever thriller to life.
“Our objective for this exclusive look behind-the-scenes is to provide the public with a glimpse at the intensive preparation and creative processes involved in mounting a theatrical performance, and present it in a way that is both enlightening and entertaining,” said Alex Mustakas, Drayton Entertainment artistic director .
The event complements the strategic goal of Culture Days, which is to raise the awareness, participation and engagement of Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their own communities. Events are planned in communities across the country from British Columbia to Newfoundland.
“We are pleased to once again be a part of the Culture Days festivities, and to provide a candid look into the creative process,” said Mustakas.
“We look forward to welcoming the community and introducing more people to the magic of live theatre.”
Drayton Entertainment’s free event begins at 1:30pm and will end at 3pm.
Advance sign-up or event admission tickets are not required.
