“Staging Our Stories” with Speaker Janet Irwin
Ottawa-based playwright and director Janet Irwin joins us to talk about one of her specific interests—how local stories told onstage help shape who we are and how we think about our communities and our histories. She will give particular reference to her adaptation and staging of two of award-winning author Brian Doyle’s stories that pertain to the Gatineau Valley—Up to Low and Mary Ann Alice. Don’t miss what will be an unforgettable evening.
