Home sweet home for Huronia Players

The night of May 24th, 2012 marked the official opening of the Huronia Players' new home at the Midland Cultural Centre. The evening featured a ceremonial ribbon cutting by both past and present members of the theatre group before the inaugural performance of their latest production 'Our Town'.

The community theatre group moved to its new stage at the beginning of May from their old Studio Theatre on William Street. The move coincides with Huronia Players’ 50th anniversary and greatly improves the group's ability to put on larger performances. 'Our Town' featured 38 cast members onstage plus an equal number behind the scenes, which would not have been possible at their old location. The audiences will also enjoy the comforts of the new venue with plush seating, spacious aisles and a theatre that is at least four times as large as the old one.
