Laughter filled the air inside the Juniper Centre on Saturday night as the Thompson Playhouse put on their annual dinner theatre.

The show, titled “Polter-Heist”, followed the story of a group of people at an inn that is haunted by a ghost that knows the location of hidden treasure.

Donna Wilson, the Director of the Thompson Playhouse, explains some of the history behind the annual fundraiser.

“The fundraising is for the Juniper Centre. They used to have a fundraiser every year and they found that it was a lot of hard work and didn’t raise as much money by the time they were done all of their expenses. So what they did was they invited Thompson Playhouse to put on a play, and we had a dinner theatre for them. It worked out really great the first year, we’ve been doing it for the last few years, and it’s always a sell-out. This year, we sold all of our tickets within a week.”

There were also prize draws throughout the evening, as well as a presentation honoring some of the Juniper Centre’s frequent volunteers.
