From the playwright who brought us the Wingfield series and “Ed’s Garage”, comes “The Perils of Persephone”.
The Township of Persephone is threatened when a truck which may contain toxic waste crashes into the swamp on the farm of the township reeve, Eldon Currie. Understandably, he calls for help, but be careful what you wish for! A comedy about fossils, radioactive material, cows, toxic dumps, and – most importantly – damage control.
Singing songs that inspire hope, laughter and connection, Shannon is joined by Erwin Stroobach at the piano for a live stream concert on Wednesday, April 29th at 12:00PM. We invite you to enjoy an afternoon of music making from the comforts of your home.
