Christmas Office Party event at Village Playhouse
December 9, 2015
Being self-employed, retired or working for a small business doesn’t mean you have to miss out on a great office party this Christmas thanks to a new event at the Bancroft Village Playhouse on Dec. 17.
The Christmas Office Party is a one-night fun-packed event featuring food, drinks and an awesome live show with Bancroft’s own rocking blues machine, Blues Boyler.
The Blues Boyler brings a mixture of high energy blues and rock to the stage with some great tunes from Blue Rodeo, The Eagles, and many more. The $20 ticket price includes the live concert and also pre-show snacks.
“This is a fabulous local band and we think the show is going to really help get everyone in the Christmas spirit,” says Playhouse manager Heather Brough. “This is a real opportunity to network, reconnect with friends in the community and celebrate the end of another exciting year here in Bancroft.”
Blues Boyler members include Rick Boyle (vocals and guitar), Jackie McLean (keyboards and backing vocals), Mark Doney (vocals and bass guitar) and Sean Doney (Drums and backing vocals). Each band member brings a rich background of experience that makes Blues Boyler a huge crowd pleaser.
The Christmas Office Party happens at the Village Playhouse on Dec. 17. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and they are available online at www.boxofficebancroft.com or at Harvest Moon, Posies and Hospice House. This is a licensed event.
