Famous People Players Visit Delmanor Elgin Mills

Delmanor Elgin Mills residents, staff & guests attended an exclusive event with Famous People Players Costume Designer Mary Thornton.

Famous People Players invited guests into their inclusive black light theatre production to show behind the scenes footage and prop making.

Mary Thornton is the mother of Diane Dupuis, the founder of Famous People Players.  Mary has designed and created all of the props for the black light dinner theatre.  Mary is truly an inspiration, who at 96 years old is still very involved with the theatre.  She began designing costumers and props 38 years ago and is now travelling around the GTA spreading the good word about the shows and their charitable acts throughout the past 38 years.


These inspiring, lively "puppet" shows are all acted out by young adults with disabilities and are all set to familiar rock and roll music.

The seniors of Delmanor Elgin Mills thoroughly enjoyed this presentation about Famous People Players and meeting Mary Thornton and Famous People Players VP, Anne Campbell.
