Local Playwright Gala Coming to Meaford Hall

Staff

The Meaford Community Theatre will present a full afternoon of entertainment and enlightenment to review and assess three locally-written plays that will be stage-read by member actors of the theatre company.

A stage reading is a form of theatre without full sets or costumes. The event will be held at Meaford Hall on April 25, from 1 to 5 PM.

The three plays include:

The Asia’s Gone Down written by Harley Greenfield. The play relives the greatest shipping disaster in Georgian Bay where over 120 drowned. Share the remorseful recollections on stage of the only two survivors.

The Blonde Devil is written by our youngest playwright, Eric MacLean. This sets to the stage the extraordinary journey of a female undercover agent airdropped into Nazi occupied France.

Find out if she gets captured by the SS.

Nell’s Place has been written by Brian Fray. Laughter ensues when one small town (Meaford ?) comes up with a crazy scheme to revitalize itself. Nell’s Place is sure to tickle your funny bone!

During the intermissions and after the final reading meet the playwrights and actors to discuss the plays over refreshments.

Tickets are now on sale at the Meaford Hall Box Office $15 adults and $10 for students.

For more information on the event contact the producer, Wayne Bryant at 519-538-2558.
