| | Spotlight Series: Echoes Down the River
Tuesday, August 4 - 7 pm
Created by Jessica de Bruyn
Running Time:
90 minutes, plus 1 intermission
Every artist has a place where it all began. A place they can hopefully come back to that still feels like home. Built as a town hall, marketplace, and fire engine house, the Brockville Arts Centre has stood for over 175 years as the heart of the community. In Echoes Down the River, five beloved local performers weave together the history of the world-class opera house with their own stories from within its walls.
The show features a script written by Jessica de Bruyn (Elizabethtown-Kitley), direction by Seanna Kennedy (Elizabethtown-Kitley) and a cast of familiar faces: Joey Herbison (Brockville), Allison Hess (Elizabethtown-Kitley), Seanna Kennedy, James King (North Augusta), and Rebecca Rodley (Brockville). This is a love letter to the stage that raised us. | Buy Tickets |
