Hans Brinker - For Immediate Release

Dutch Christmas Classic at the Fergus Grand Theatre

For Immediate Release

Grinder Productions is pleased to present Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates, a Christmas show for the entire family, December 18th, 19th and 20th at the Fergus Grand Theatre.

This classic Dutch Christmas story is known to many, about a poor but noble family, a deep secret, and an incredible act of kindness, but for those who aren’t familiar with the events this story the play will serve as a wonderful introduction. Written in a light-hearted, easy-to-understand manner, this show is perfect for children and families. Its large cast of performers young and old features some of the best and brightest at Grinder Productions, as well as some new faces coming to our stage for the first time ever.

Grinder Productions Creative and Executive Director Eric Goudie is very happy to see this show coming together this Holiday season.

“When I first chose the show, the economy was doing fine,” he says. “Since 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. While I wish the company itself was financially able to give back directly to the community, at least we can bring you a fun, uplifting, family-friendly show that even brought a smile to my often cynical face!”

Tickets for the show are $15 each, with a group rate of $12 each for groups of ten or more. But most importantly for this show, children (and teens participating in the Eyego program) can get their tickets for just $5. Goudie hopes that this will make it possible for young people to come to the show who would not have otherwise been able to.

“I’m so happy when I see young people coming through the doors of the theatre. Coming to a play can be such a rewarding, beneficial experience for a child, and it helps to instill in them a lifelong love of the arts.”

Tickets are available by calling the Fergus Grand Theatre box office at 519-787-1981, or visiting the theatre at 244 St. Andrew St. West in Fergus. For more infomation on Hans Brinker or any other Grinder event please visit the website, www.grinderproductions.org.
