The community is invited to visit the Boardmore Theatre and hear about the 2014/2015 season of plays, listen to readings and songs from the main stage productions, meet this year’s directors, and enjoy a light lunch. At this time members of the community will also be able to check out a sneak preview of the upcoming season of the CBU Art Gallery to learn more about upcoming exhibitions and events.
“CBU Boardmore Theatre is continually expanding its theatre offerings each year,” says Todd Hiscock, Director of the Boardmore Theatre. “This year, along with our Season of Plays, we are pleased to announce a new series of plays to be written for our one act play festival – The Beaton Chronicles. The community is welcome to attend the launch party and learn more about all the new and exciting things that are in store for the 2014/2015 season.”
