Drayton Entertainment's Artistic Director Alex Mustakas today announced the 2024 Season for the Hildebrand Schoolhouse Theatre St. Jacobs.
“This is an exciting season filled with entertaining shows for theatregoers at every stage of life,” says Mustakas. “From nostalgic musicals like The Marvelous Wonderettes, to poignant love story, and a brand new holiday tradition, there really is something for the whole family!”
The irresistible ’50s and ’60s jukebox musical The Marvelous Wonderettes will take audiences on a trip down memory lane with hits like “Stupid Cupid,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” “Heatwave,” “RESPECT,” and more. This effervescent musical revue chronicling the story of four best friends as they navigate relationships, growing up, and following their dreams will be on stage from July 9 to September 1.
Up next is the joyous and heartwarming love story, Dear Jack, Dear Louise.
