P.A. theatre group celebrates 60 years

The province’s second oldest theatre troupe usually puts on two productions a year and has no plans of slowing down. Enright said she was especially looking forward to continuing an outreach initiative that they started last year. The program brings the players to perform in nursing homes around the city. She said it was incredibly well received with residents requesting that the group return every month.

“They have been our people for years, but now their declining health and everything doesn’t allow them to come to our plays anymore so it’s nice that we can go to them,” she said.

The Community Players will also be inducted into the Prince Albert Arts Hall of Fame in a ceremony at the end of the month.

With lots to celebrate, Enright is looking forward to the gala next month.

“We’re going to have a table with some of our old pictures from years ago so it’s going to be very, very interesting to look through all of those,” she said.

Tickets for the event at Plaza 88 must be purchased before Sept. 22 at the Canadian Tire store or online. The evening will include dinner and various musical performances.
