Half Life- A benefit show

Village Theatre (Waterdown) Inc. is staging a benefit performance for Grandmothers of Steel on Thursday, April 26th at 8:00 p.m. The show is Half Life, by Hamilton playwright John Mighton. Tickets are $25 and may be ordered in advance by phoning 905 690 7889.

This is a wonderful opportunity for us to raise a great deal of money in a short space of time, and enjoy a production featuring the crème de la crème of local community actors, and starring our own member, Maggie Thomas. I challenge us all not only to come to this exciting event, but to bring three friends. What an enjoyable way for us each to send $100 to support grandmothers in Africa, and the hall holds 176! Come see the play, which appropriately enough features grandmothers and their offspring.

What shines through when memory fades away? Clara and Patrick meet in a nursing home for veterans. They begin to fall in love, thinking they are rekindling an old flame. Have they ever met before? As Clara and Patrick’s middle-aged children watch their faltering parents, the older couple discovers beauty and love in the twilight of their lives.

If you require more information, please call me or Maggie Thomas at the numbers below. You can also find more about our theatre group at www.villagetheatrewaterdown.ca

See you at the show!
