Lineup unveiled for 15th season at Chatham's Capitol Theatre

There'll be plenty of reasons to visit Chatham's Capitol Theatre in the coming months.

The lineup for the theatre's 15th season was officially unveiled on Tuesday, highlighted by comedian Howie Mandel.

This will be his first visit to Chatham since he performed in the theatre's inaugural season back in 2010.

"I hope Howie remembers," joked Devon Hansen, Chatham-Kent's Project Manager of Theatres.

He's set to kickoff the season on October 3rd.

The James Barker Band will hit the stage next on October 30, followed by the musical comedy 'Billy Bishop Goes to War' on November 7th.

Jann Arden will bring some Christmas cheer on December 8th, while the Sam Roberts Band will light up the theatre on February 19th.

There'll be a performance by the Red Hot Chili Pipers, a musical group comprised of several bagpipers, on February 20.

Environmentalist David Suzuki will be at the theatre on March 3 with Tenille Towers performing a couple of weeks later on March 19.

The season will wrap up with a performance of 'Curious George: The Golden Meatball' on March 20 and then some stand up comedy with Just For Laughs on April 9.

"This is a full season of name recognition, people you know and big name groups," added Hansen.

Tickets can be purchased online starting at 11:45 a.m. on Thursday.
