The next workshop for The Grand River Community Play Project is Tuesday, May 2, 7:00-9:00pm at Glen Morris United Church! The last workshop saw 21 participants but we'd like to see more! You don't have to be from Glen Morris to take part. All those who have been impacted in some way by this Heritage River or the communities that are on it are invited to attend. These workshops are providing information and ideas for organizers to create the play that will be presented in August of 2024. And members of the choir will be performing!

Jeff Leader and I have had the exciting opportunity to become involved in the THE GRAND RIVER COMMUNITY PLAY PROJECT which is being produced by The Canadian Centre For Rural Creativity. We invite all those living in the community of Glen Morris to join us for a sharing of our stories of life beside our beautiful heritage river on Tuesday, April 4 and/or Wednesday, April 5, 7:00pm at Glen Morris United Church. Please read below to learn more about the project!
THE GRAND RIVER COMMUNITY PLAY PROJECT… is being imagined as an event that runs the 310-kilometre length of the river. We have just started with conversations, collecting stories from those who live along the Grand, and connecting with folks who are interested in participating in the project. Over the course of the summer of 2022 we’ll continue to listen and gather stories and in the fall perform a series of workshop presentations at different locations along the Grand. The work of 2022 will lead to further development in 2023 and take us to a full production in the summer of 2024.

The Grand River Community Play Project is the story of the river created and developed by the people of the river and ultimately told to those who are engaged and impacted by the river. It is a coming together of stories and, as importantly, a coming together of people along the length of this magnificent waterway. It also creates room for the river to speak for herself.

The Grand River Community Play Project is produced by the Canadian Centre for Rural Creativity – where we strive to establish an inclusive gathering place, a place for creativity and meaningful participation.
