Wow, it was another successful show!
Then at 2pm another crowd gathered including, once again, relatives of the playwright, Charlene Herrold to laugh and cry along. Delightful!
Now on to the next performance. This is exciting. Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears will be included at Guelph's "Praise the Ward Festival"
Performances will be held at the Alice Street Lofts, that amazing repurposed space, once the Northern Rubber Factory and now gorgeous condominiums. You can see the show on the lovely rooftop terrace (weather permitting) or the lovely "Amenity Room" (in case of rain). I will be adding some local, ward based, Irish references to the stories as well. TICKETS HERE
