10/16/12 - After some trying times, a local theater group has found a home for the holidays in Hartland. The Dionysus Theatre and Performing Arts Academy has been looking for a permanent home since plans for a theater space in Brighton were rejected over zoning issues. And while that search continues, the group will be presenting its first original production this Christmas season in the Hartland High School auditorium. The family musical is titled âHome for the Holidaysâ and Dionysus Theatre co-owner Steve DeBruyne tells WHMI everyone was really helpful in allowing them to use the theater for a holiday show and he has also been working with students in the district's after school drama program. 12 performances of âHome for the Holidaysâ are scheduled starting December 7th and running through December 23rd. DeBruyne says they will be holding auditions next Tuesday and Wednesday from 7pm to 10pm at Michelleâs Academy of Dance in Brighton and that theyâre looking to find some great singers and dancers. He says itâs an open call and encourages individuals to just show up and bring along some Christmas music. For more information, log onto the theatre's website through the link below. (JK)
