David Ferry - Short Waves/Short Stories
Talk about time flying.
This year we will present the 15th edition of Short Waves/Short Stories, the wildly innovative live theatre experience created by our friend, the Newfoundland-born actor, director and writer David Ferry.
On Sunday we will gather once again at the Legion for an early afternoon libation and some collective listening, as David and his troup of actors and musicians perform one of his original stories, Bannerman Park.
Mark Critch
Mark Critch is one busy guy. But this August, he has blocked out a few days in his crazy schedule to make a return visit to Writers at Woody Point.
We can’t wait.
The East Pointers
If you leave a performance by The East Pointers without a great big smile on your face, there’s really nothing more we can do for you.
Richard Ford returns to Woody Point
We are so pleased to announce the return to Woody Point of one of the most important writers of our era, Richard Ford.
Miriam Toews & Christine Fellows
We have always loved the idea of mixing and matching writers and musicians and then sitting back to enjoy the result. Wonderful and unexpected synergies always emerge when creative people share the Heritage Theatre stage.
This year, in a special Sunday evening performance, we have taken that to another level, turning the show over one of our favourite authors and one of our favourite musicians.
