Change is in the air, and we re going straight to the top! by PSFT Artistic Director, Liz Gilroy January: the month where we all make and try to keep resolutions. Easier said than done. Change can be difficult, requires time, doesn’t happen overnight, and it can be costly. But there comes a time when you must take stock and jump off the cliff, or at least take some baby steps. Momentous changes are happening this winter at Port Stanley Festival Theatre (PSFT), and we are asking for some support from you, our dedicated patrons, to help facilitate that change. Our GIVE US A LIFT Capital Campaign is now in full swing to help us modernize our ‘Generation X’ elevator. The 80s are long past and although we loved our Relax T-shirts, leg warmers, crimped hair, shoulder pads, and MC Hammer pants, it is time to put them into storage and step into this century, as should our elevator -- so we can keep the theatre accessible for everyone who enters our building. We are a mainstay in the community, and we want to continue to serve the village and the surrounding areas to the best of our ability. Our goal is to raise one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to help offset the costs for the modernization. It is a lofty goal but one we are sure we can achieve with your support. There are many ways to donate, and all the information can be found on our website www.psft.ca. All of us at the theatre thank you in advance for ‘giving us a lift’ and helping us get all the way to the top! Change is also coming to the stage at PSFT, with an exciting lineup of brand-new shows for our 2025 season. We’ve got something for everyone; an outrageous farce, side-splitting comedies, heartwarming stories, food fights, toe-tappin’ country music, secrets, romance, and some whoopee! Subscriptions are still available and the most economical way to see all the shows. If one of your New Year’s resolutions was ‘rekindle that spark,’ PSFT has got you covered. Playing on February 14 and 15th; The Croooners and The Bettys Valentine
Special. That weekend is loaded with sweet harmonies, love, laughs, delectable treats, and many more surprises. Not to mention the lunch or dinner package Kettle Creek Inn is featuring on Saturday, specifically for this show. We are thrilled to have Rick Kish and Conner Boa back on the PSFT stage, this time joined by The Bettys. The Bettys are a trio of talented women who sing the hits from The Andrew Sisters to Aerosmith. They are ‘sexy, hilarious, and memorable.’ Perhaps outstanding entertainment, tasty food, and a ride to the top is all the change we need for 2025.
