It is with much sadness that I must report that the Stage East Dinner Theatre Society has cancelled this year's performances.
The reason is quite simple; we just don't have enough people to put on a production this year. We have lost some of our major cast members and with no one to replace them, we can't continue again this year.
Stage East was started more than thirty years ago to raise funds to save and restore the last remaining station building in Beiseker. We were successful in raising enough to save the building which now serves as the Beiseker Village Office and the Station Museum! It was started up again in 2005 to celebrate Alberta's 100th Birthday. Since then we have donated funds to many community groups and projects but over the last few we've supported improvements to our community hall.
The Stage East Dinner Theatre Society will continue on. It is an active society and is registered. We will continue meeting on a regular basis.
It has been suggested that we hold a theatre workshop in the fall, to show people how much fun theatre and Stage East can be. We are planning to have a full production in the fall of 2018!
