Halton Museum to present musical Hardscrabble Road

Give the gift of live theatre this Christmas. The Halton Museum Foundation is kicking off its 2007 fundraising campaign on Saturday, January 20 at Georgetown's John Elliott Theatre with a special presentation of James Gordon's critically acclaimed musical Hardscrabble Road. This gritty, thought-provoking tale takes the audience on a journey to the back streets of a Canadian inner city where a group of homeless people sings of their plight. Gordon's most ambitious work to date with 24 all-new songs, this groundbreaking musical uses sharp satire, humour and a wide range of music styles to convey the important and timely message of how our current global situation can have a personal impact on each and everyone of us. Gordon shares the lead vocals with a "who's who" of the area's music scene, including Ken Browne, Nonie Crete, Sandy Horne, Amy Nodwell and Ryan Schneider. These talented performers are backed-up by principal instrumentalists Lois Cherry, Marion Linton, Even Gordon and Randall Coryell. In the spirit of this presentation, the Halton Museum Foundation will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items and/or monetary donations in support of the Georgetown Bread Basket food bank. Tickets for this event are adults $23 and youth/seniors $20. The Halton Museum Foundation returns to The John Elliott Theatre with internationally recognized illusionist Ted Outerbridge and his spell-binding presentation, Magical Moments in Time on Sunday, March 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets for Hardscrabble Road and Magical Moments in Time are available now at the John Elliott Theatre Box Office, 905-877-3700
