"This season promises to be remembered for years to come," says artistic director Alex Mustakas. "We have planned a season full of magical moments, complete with Broadway blockbusters, heartwarming comedies, nostalgic musical tributes, and lots of family fun. Tickets are on sale now exclusively to Members, fol- lowed by groups and sub- scribers on Mon., Nov. 10 and the general public on Dec. 1 just in time for the holidays. Huron Country Playhouse: Mainstage The 2015 Season kicks off with the most popular musi- cal in Canadian history, Anne of Green Gables, on stage June 11 to June 27. Journey to the shores of Prince Edward Island and follow the misadventures of Anne Shirley, a freckle - faced, red-haired orphan who will immediately cap- ture your heart with her irre- pressible spirit. Next up is the hotly antici- pated production of Chi- cago, July 2 to July 18. Bob Fosse's energetic; cabaret style musical continues to seduce audiences world- wide. Winner of six Tony Awards, Chicago glitters hypnotically with brassy songs, astonishing dancing, biting satire, and of course, all that jazz. After a sold -out engage- ment at the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse this fall, Footloose is dancing its way onto the Huron Country Playhouse stage, July 23 to Aug. 8. Based on the beloved 80s movie, Footloose is the feel -good story about a young rebel who inadvert- ently heals the heart of a small town when he encour- ages the local youth to defy the strict edict of the local pastor and hold a rock 'n' roll dance. From the creators of last year's sensation, Twist and Shout: The British Invasion, comes another production in the perennially popular Legends series of tribute shows that will put a snap in your fingers and a song in your heart. Legends ... of Rock 'n' Roll relives the incredible discography from the 1950s through 1970s that forever changed the landscape of modern music. Such influential acts as Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, The Beach Boys, Elton John, ABBA, and Simon & Garfun- kel are celebrated in this tribute to musical pioneers, Aug. 13 to Aug. 29. Huron Country Playhouse II Check in for a weekend of laughs with the lighthearted, racy comedy Sexy Laundry, on stage June 11 to June 27. A couple checks into a swanky hotel room for a romantic getaway, all in the hope of rekindling some much- needed passion - but jump- starting their stale love life proves infinitely more diffi- cult, and hilarious, than anticipated. Last Chance Romance is a topsy-turvy romantic com- edy about the perils of find- ing "the one:' It's frothy, fun look at the absurdity of love �%l,%l,%C,�l, (-'r/Io,j/r/rt,/r,I,, �l% 9owiec 914 'la %v.* rie '44 e4eaded: Clinton United Church 105 Ontario Street Minister Rev.

The production runs July 2 to July 18. After the success of last season's production of Peter Pan: The Panto, comes Snow White: The Panto.

Once again, there will be opportunities for local youth to participate in the production as members of the Children's Chorus. Audition details will be made available in the New Year.

Libro awards grant to Huron's creative youth Huron County youth will now have more creative opportunities thanks to a new program funded by Libro Credit Union. Imagine Huron, a new program for youth up to the age of 26 in the creative fields of visual arts, digital media and music, will be implemented in early 2015. "We are really excited to be implementing this pro- gram with the support of Libro Credit Union," says project coordinator, Aaron Neeb. "Libro Imagine Huron will provide a much needed boost to the youth talent that exists in Huron County." Libro Imagine Huron will see the implementation of four different enterprises including a youth orchestra, a music and arts festival, cul- tural t -shirts and short docu- mentaries about youth arts in the County. These enter- prises will focus on building youth skills in entrepreneur- ship and creativity. "Championing and inspir- ing our young people are integral to our Community Engagement Program," said Liz Arkinstall, Libro Credit Union Community Engagement Manager. "Libro Imagine Huron provides a fantastic opportunity for our youth to showcase their art- istry and develop strong lead- ership skills, as we focus on growing regional prosperity." To celebrate the creation of Libro Imagine Huron, a launch event took place on December 27 at the Bayfield Town Hall. The event, titled "Holidaze" featured youth musicians from across the County including Three Forkes, Among Giants, Mikey Chuck Rivers, Emmett O'Reilly and Charlie Weber. All money raised will go towards implementing youth arts enterprises in 2015. Imagine Huron will for- mally begin in 2015. Any youth who are interested in taking part in the four enter- prises should contact Neeb at aneeb@smallbusinesshu- ron.ca. Imagine Huron was cre- ated in partnership with Libro Credit Union, The Huron Business Develop- ment Corporation and the Huron Arts and Heritage Net- work. Funding was received from Libro Credit Union. clintonnewsrecord.com
