November 18, 2009

(Ottawa, ON)

Are you looking for something different to celebrate the upcoming holiday season while still giving back to the community? The Gladstone Theatre has teamed up with Christmas Exchange to give you an opportunity to attend a preview presentation of the comedy “The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townwomen’s Guild Drama Society’s Production of A Christmas Carol” December 2.

“We are so grateful to the Gladstone for coming forward to help families in need this way,” said Marilyn Matheson Exchange Director of Christmas Exchange. “They have made it an affordable way for families to enjoy an evening out while helping those less fortunate.” The tickets for this preview performance are $20 each with 100% being donated to Christmas Exchange.

Christmas Exchange has been helping Ottawa area families in need since 1915. Last year the Exchange assisted over 25,000 people in 9,200 households, including 11,000 children and 2,200 seniors. This year they expect the demand to be much higher.

To order your tickets for the Gladstone production, please call 613-226-6434. Tickets will also be sold at the Carlingwood Shopping Centre on November 28th, from 9:30am until 3pm
