CLASSIC THEATRE ANNOUNCES REPLACEMENT SHOW

For Immediate Release: The Classic Theatre has announced that it has replaced a show in its 2007-2008 NorthernTel Great Performance Season. The show being replaced, Little Shop of Horrors, which was to be produced by the theatre’s production wing, has been put off until another season while a new show has been booked in its place.

The new show is “Outerbridge – Magical Moments in Time” and will be offered at 8:00 pm on January 25 and at 2:00 pm on January 26, 2007. The press in Europe have called Ted & Marion Outerbridge “Champions of magic”! In Canada, Magical Moments in Time has been hip enough to appear on everything from Mystery Hunters to Much Music, important enough to make the front pages – from the Guelph Mercury to the National Post, and so powerful that it has even been performed on the radio – from Country and Western to CBC … no kidding!

In Ted and Marion Outerbridge’s Magical Moments in Time, comedy meets mind-bending illusions, making for a uniquely bewitching and hilarious evening of entertainment. Ted and Marion Outerbridge don’t just play the spotlight, they come to life in it – and then share it with audience members, inviting them to experience the magic up close and on stage. Whether it’s Ted changing places with Marion in a split second, or reading minds and traveling through time to appear “out of nowhere” in the middle of the audience, Ted and Marion Outerbridge will hold you spellbound and leave you hungry for more. Magical Moments in Time captures the imagination and transforms it into wonder.

“The Board of Directors is confident that this show will amaze audiences of all ages,” says Angela Drainville-Ashick, General Manager of the Classic Theatre, “they feel that this will be a perfect fit for audiences who were looking forward to Little Shop of Horrors. And, what better Christmas gift to put under the tree this year than the gift of magic?”

This new addition, will come on the heel of a very busy fall season which has included the likes of Matthew Good and Trooper, and will immediately follow the upcoming Christmas offerings including Quartette Christmas, with Sylvia Tyson and Cindy Church and two concerts being given by acclaimed jazz saxophonist Matthew James in early December.

“The new approach being taken by the Board of Directors of the Classic Theatre is very aggressive, but they are hoping to demonstrate to the community that they are committed to being a venue that brings in the sorts of high-quality entertainment that Temiskaming is looking for,” says Drainville-Ashick. She notes that the theatre is working hard to provide patrons with a great experience in a great atmosphere.

Tickets to Outerbridge-Magical Moments in Time are $18 in advance for adults and $12 for students and are available at the Classic Theatre, by calling the box office at (705) 679-8080 or at Robertson’s Gifts and Variety.
