Happy New Year everyone.
We hope you enjoyed a great Christmas holiday and are looking forward to a wonderful new year!
As we head into January, the pace quickens at Highlands Summer Festival. First of all the deadline for the season pass sale of the 2012 productions is rapidly approaching. The special price of $110 for all five shows, comes to an end January 15. So if Santa missed you this year, there is still time to take advantage of the special discount. Call the box office now to take advantage of this limited time offer: 705-457-9933.
The other item on the January agenda is the audition call.
This is an exciting time of the year for actors in our community as they look over the possibilities and prepare to strut their stuff for the directors. As a regionally based, community theatre Highlands Summer Festival welcomes newcomers to thge stage. Each year there are individuals in Highlands Summer Festival productions who have never been on stage before. Part of our mandate is to foster the growth of performing arts skills in our community. So if you are an HSF veteran or someone thinking this could be the year I step out onto the boards, have a look at the audition call information and consider giving it a try. We look forward to seeing you at the auditions. (Perhaps you are interested in helping behind the scenes…..have a look at the audition package. It has details on how to become involved in other aspects of the summer season.)
All the information you will need for the audition, can be found on the home page. Simply click on one of the links for all the information.
New year, new excitement
Season Pass Sale Begins….but some people just couldn’t wait
Our season pass sale kicked off on Monday, November 28…..but even before we had posted the line-up for the season, the box office was receiving orders for the 2012 passes. Without knowing what we had planned for the season….loyal patrons were placing orders for passes.
I love it! Thank you for such a ringing endorsement.
For the rest of our patrons, the schedule is now posted and the line-up is looking exciting for the coming summer. See the Home Page for a quick summary of each of the productions and the Tickets page for the calendar.
Remember you only have until January 15 to take advantage of the special pricing. Call Jim now to book your passes. 705-457-9933.
They make great Christmas gifts for someone special on your list or yourself.
New season will be announced Monday

There is a great line up productions so watch this space, and look for the special pricing on season passes.
