Meaford Community Theatre
Local actors and musicians bring history
alive with the presentation of Peace & War on stage at Meaford Hall
November 10th. This annual community production features four short
dramas and a variety of music for Remembrance Day.
A familiar cast of Franz Greenfield,
Robert Greenfield and Harley Greenfield relive the Christmas Truce of 1914 when
Allied and German soldiers in the trenches laid down their rifles for a few
hours and met face to face in ‘no-man’s land’.
Jaden Calvert plays an adventuresome
Canadian soldier who finds himself in North Africa during WW2 battling not only
the enemy but sand storms and flies. A Nurse, played by Abby Woodhouse,
describes in a letter to his parents his final hours.
In School Days a young girl,
played by Jadon Klein, tells how her teachers are signing up to fight overseas
leaving many soon-to-be widows.
As a result of the Vietnam War
thousands of war resisters came to Canada to evade the draft. Greg Brown
portrays one of those draft dodgers as he explains why he made that choice.
Music for Peace & War is
provided by students Nick Hallman, Michelle Wright and Abby Woodhouse
accompanied by Melri Wright along with Lyrica of the Georgian Bay Children’s
Choir directed by Jennifer Potter.
Tickets for the 7:30pm
performance on Monday, November 10th are available at Meaford Hall.
