Port Stanley Festival Theatre proudly presents three exciting new plays:
Deadly Memories by Steven Gallagher, Harts Crossing by Tracey Hoyt, and Ship to Shore by Norm Foster.
A trio of free public readings for the 2025 Simon Joynes Playwrights’ Festival.
Join us and be the first audience to experience a brand–new piece of theatre, followed by an invited audience talk back with the actors, playwrights and the AD. The plays are presented on stage, and the evenings are hosted by Artistic Director Liz Gilroy.
Actor and playwright Mark Crawford {Stag and Doe, Chase the Ace}, Martha Farrell {Stratford Festival}, Andy Pogson {Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Mirvish Productions}, PSFT favourite Sarah Machin- Gale, Scott Maudsley {The Drawer Boy}, and Artistic Director Liz Gilroy are all confirmed to take part and bring these three new plays to life.
The Simon Joynes Playwrights’ Festival is an integral part of the PSFT play development program which has produced premiere productions that include: THE BEAVER CLUB, OUR HOUSE, BINGO LADIES and FIVE ALARM. The play program was also instrumental in the early stages of development for LIARS AT A FUNERAL and THE BIRDS AND THE BEES.
The Recommender Grant, generously funded by the Ontario Arts Council, plays a huge part in
our play development, please check our website for more information.
HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US AT 7:30 PM ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 18 FOR DEADLY MEMORIES,
HARTS CROSSING ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 19, AND SEPTEMBER 20 FOR SHIP TO SHORE.
