BURLINGTON, ON, August 19, 2011 More than $40 million later and the box office is open. On Saturday you can buy your tickets for the more than 32 events booked for between now and April of 2012 – and if you’ve won the lottery or your pension cheque has come in then you can pony up the $400. for the opening night tickets. Think this is for the fur coat crowd. For the rest of us – this is good theatre in a great building put up by people in this city who had the courage and the conviction five years ago to see great things for the city in the future. That future is this week.
The sound from those lips were the words “cha ching” which for Brenda Heatherington was the sound of a cash register – she wants you to head over to the Box Office which will open on Saturday, and buy the reasonably priced tickers for any one (or more) of the 32 events booked for between now and April of 2012
The opening is a remarkable achievement and the people that made it happen deserve our sincere gratitude – and for those who have called the Burlington Performing Arts Centre a “nice to have” – don’t you dare look for a free ticket opening night.
It is going to be really nice to have and if you want to be able to walk into the building and just gawk – then be on hand Friday, the 19th at 10:00 and watch as all the dignitaries roll back the construction fences in preparation for the opening of the Box Office on Saturday, August 20, 2011.
Brenda Heatherington, Executive Director for The Burlington Performing Arts Centre, who will undoubtedly buy a new pair of shoes for this event (and Blair Lancaster may well wear who pink suede work boots) invites you to attend and applaud.
