July 2023, this one man show is set to premiere in beautiful Collingwood Ontario.
It is a bit of a trip down memory lane for this actor as I spent 8 years working for Theatre Collingwood (2000-2008)
In addition to their fabulous main stage series, Theatre Collingwood produces The Porchside Festival. The Porchside Festival is just that - theatre performed on the porches of homes in and around Collingwood while audience members gather on the lawns to enjoy the show.
It is the perfect intimate setting for a delicate, funny, touching play like Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears - a collection of wonderful Irish tales filled with delightful characters in outlandish situations.
Meet Fiddler O'Flaherty, The Widow O'Donnell, The Big and Little Jimmies, The O'Hares, O'Haras, O'Sullivans and even the cat, Francis O'Feline.
"Sure it is well known the whole world would be Irish if it could" -- Francis O'Flaherty.
Details and ticket information coming soon. 3 performances: Friday July 14 at 7pm and Saturday July 15 at 2and 7pm.
