Miracle Theatre continuing performances for PG Seniors Emergency Fund

Money is still being raised by Miracle Theatre’s two comedy’s from Canadian playwright, Norm Foster.

“Lunenburg” and “Here on the Flight Path” plays began in early March, but have continued to be sold out up to April 17th, and have added more shows.

Director Designer, Ted Price says the proceeds from ticket sales will help create the PG Seniors Emergency Fund.

“At the end of the month, they don’t have enough to sometimes make rent, there’s even been evictions, not enough for groceries.”

“This will be an emergency fund so that if they’re $100 short on rent, that fund will cover that until they’re able to get into a seniors facility or social housing. Don’t have enough groceries, same thing.”

Before the plays, Price said they had no idea how extensive the issue was in the community, finding out it extends across the country and going unnoticed.

He added there’s been a lot of community support for the cause, and has been going well because people have also enjoyed the two plays.

Limited tickets remain for April 18th, 19th, and 23rd, with extra performances for the 24th and 26th.

“Here on the Flight Path” is offered on all other dates except for Mondays.

Tickets are $39.50 can be purchased at Books and Company or by phone at 250-563-6637.
