PROJECT

Year
2015 & 2016

Community Visited
Picton, Wellington, and Bloomfield

Interviews Conducted

Our Prince Edward County interviews culminated in a site-specific performance installation at the Picton Town Hall in 2015. We returned in 2016 to mount a full theatrical production at the Mount Tabor Playhouse in Milford.

Listen to some of our Picton, Wellington, and Bloomfield stories on our interactive storymap. Watch our Main Street Ontario TV series'  Picton episode.

Wellington is a wonderful working village – it’s a village not a town. – because everything’s here!
