Brantford, ON… Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts presents Forever Plaid, a Hammer Entertainment Production on Thursday March 6 at 2:00 and 8:00 p.m.
Reunited and it feels so good. In 2012 Hammer Entertainment brought the Plaids to Hamilton for a special Christmas treat in the form of Plaid Tidings the Christmas show. Well they just couldn’t stay away and now they are coming back for one day only to the incredible Brantford Sanderson Centre
Forever Plaid is an affectionate musical homage to the close-harmony 'guy groups' that reached the height of their popularity during the 1950s. This quartet of high-school chums, and their earnest dreams of recording an album, ended (symbolically, and even literally) in death, when their cherry red '54 Mercury collided with a bus filled with Catholic schoolgirls on their way to see the Beatles' American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. The girls were fine. The play begins with the wondrous and wondering Plaids returning from the afterlife for one final chance at musical glory.
Hammer Entertainment has worked hard over the past 7 years to create partnerships all over Ontario. Most recently with the Players Guild of Hamilton and in Niagara with several companies. Says artistic director Jason Dick, “the only way for theatre companies to be successful is to work in partnership with other companies. We have focused on seeking out companies that have the same dedication to quality that we have. The Sanderson Centre is a perfect example.”
Forever Plaid is one of the most entertaining and popular productions around the globe. The intense four part harmony necessary for a production like this is unprecedented in any other theatre production. Our four Plaids have been featured across Ontario on stage in Toronto in productions like Cabaret and the upcoming RENT, Stratford in Oliver, Hamilton premieres like The Drowsy Chaperone, Wedding Singer and many more.
Tickets are $35.00 for Forever Plaid and available by visiting the Sanderson Centre box office located at 88 Dalhousie Street, Brantford. Tickets can be ordered with a major credit card by calling (519) 758-8090 or 1-800-265-0710 or on-line at www.sandersoncentre.ca
