Cinderella: audience has a
ball!
February
2006
The Christmas
panto was a huge hit with audiences, and raised $12,000 for charity.
Deano writes:-
The response from the audience was fab, and they really got into the
hissing and booing, and many people came back a second time. I also
wrote in a few guests in Cinderella's ballroom scene, each
show I had dignitaries and local celebs be given walk on
roles.
I have booked the Theatre for 6 days next December.
Project on the life
of Alexander Graham Bell
February
2006
I have been asked to write a play on Alexander Graham Bell, very
excited about this. The very first phone call was made from Paris to
Brantford. The Bells moved from Scotland to Canada in 1870 and Alex
was only 29 when he invented the telephone, he truly was a genius
with many inventions to his credit, his Mom Eliza was deaf also his
wife Mable and he did much with sound, speech and language. I want
to write a musical play from 1870 to 1876.

Dear
Supporter:
Please let me introduce you to Talk of the Town Productions, a new
and exciting company in the Brantford/Brant County region.
As Founder and Director, my goals are to highlight local talent and to
make first-class, live theatre affordable for everyone.
My career in the entertainmentbusiness began over forty years ago
when I won “Opportunity Knocks,” the UK equivalent to“Canadian
Idol.”
By the age of sixteen I had my own television show and I’ve been
performing ever since. With so much talent and support in this area,
I am thrilled to be teaching, acting and directing in
Brantford/Brant County.
Talk of the Town Productions is bringing Cinderella to the Sanderson
Centre this Christmas!
Our humorous and satirical musical has a distinctly Brantford
flavour and will provide both adultsand children with “more laughs
than you can shake a glass slipper at!”
Tickets are $20. per adult and $15. per child and can be purchased
directly through The Sanderson Center (758-8090). Inkeeping with our
Mission and Vision Statements, two dollars from each ticket sale
will be sharedby The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario and
Brant Community Health Services for anew MRI machine.
Please consider this production a unique entertainment event for your
company Christmas party. I guarantee you that our saucy take on this
traditional fairy tale isn’t just for the kiddies!
As a special treat, we have partnered with Olde School Restaurant to
offer a dinner/show package for Sunday night’s performance ($45. per
person). Feast on a scrumptious “Cinderella” dinner at Olde School
Restaurant at 5:30pm, then enjoy the 7:30pm performance from your
preferred seats at The Sanderson Centre.
Seating is limited for the dinner/show package, so please bookyour
reservation with Olde School Restaurant (753-3131) at your earliest
convenience.
Also, we are seeking corporate donors to purchase seats for children who
would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend live theatre.
Please consider this request and ensure a merrier Christmas for
children in the immediate area. Your name will be published in the
Cinderella program unless otherwise requested. Please complete the
sponsorship form, indicating your choice of recognition or
anonymity, and return it in the enclosed envelope. Should you have
