Ship's Company Summer Theatre

It's been 25 years since the Ship's Company Theatre staged its first production on the beached passenger ferry, the MV Kipawo. In honour of this important anniversary, there's a party weekend planned for July 31 to August 2 that will include a full reading of Carol Sinclair's *Summer of the Handley-Page*, musical numbers from the hit show *Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave* and a tasty lobster boil at Ottawa House. Archival photographs by award-winning photographer Thaddeus Holownia will be exhibited all summer long at The Destination Gallery on Main Street. The regular mainstage season includes the world premiere of Charlie Rhindress's adaption of Bruce Graham's quirky, comic novel *Ivor Johnson's Neighbours* and *Ferry Tales*, the story of the aforementioned MV Kipawo, also by Carol Sinclair.
