Enter Stage Right Presents An Adaptation Of A Sci-Fi Classic

H.G. Wells’ classic science fiction novel, The Island of Dr. Moreau is being adapted into a frightening good live performance by Enter Stage Right at The Citadel. 

Directed by Regina Spain, “Moreau’s Horrors” centers around an outcast doctor who runs cruel experiments on his creations of human/animal hybrids. The play is a drama/thriller with a mature content and violence warning, so if that’s not for you be sure to steer clear of this one. For those looking for something to put them in the Halloween mood, this is right up your alley. “Our preview audiences loved the story, characters, design, and of course, our amazing special effects,” says Spain. 

Each weekend from Friday, October 14th – Sunday, October 23rd, guests can catch the performance at The Citadel Stage located at 609 Huron Ave, in downtown Port Huron. Pre-purchased tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children, with prices being slightly higher at the door.

Help Support Breast Cancer Awareness At The 2nd Annual Pink Tie Gala

Many of us know of someone whose life has been changed by a cancer diagnosis. When Emily Goudy received the news that her sister’s friend was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, she and her husband Steve decided to become active in making a change for those affected.

They started with their calendar and human ribbon to raise funds which they used to donate to different breast cancer funds through the St. Clair County Community Foundation. In 2014 they began their own “Taking a Shot at Breast Cancer Fund.” 

This year they’ll be hosting their 2nd Annual Pink Tie Gala. On Friday, October 21st, from 6 PM – 11 PM at the Blue Water Convention Center, there will be dinner, a silent auction, and dancing. Tickets are $65 per person. 

If you would like to be a sponsor, donor, or purchase tickets visit: takingashotatbreastcancer.org for more information.
