The Prairie Players have been preparing for their Spring Production. This year to change things up a bit, the show will be in two parts: Let them Howl, and a play written by a local PCI student. The production is scheduled to hit the William Glesby Centre stage on April 27th, 28th, and 29th. This will be a show you will not want to miss due to its historical importance, sentimental values, local influences, comedic traits, and uniqueness to our province. Here's all the details:

 

Let them Howl

Let them Howl is a short play written by Manitoba Local Actress and Playwright Sharon Bajer. It is written about the women's right to vote movement by Nellie McClung in 1916. The story is about an unbothered-by-studies local student, an encouraging professor, and their journey into the past of Nellie McClung's Suffragists. This play will feature 26 parts: 20 women ranging in age groups, 4 singers, and 6 males.

If you would like more information on Let them Howl, please contact Director Fran Myles at (204)857-7146
