Join Maude Parsons, Newfoundland and Labrador's
famous storyteller as she recounts some of the history of her home province in:
I'll be Dere Da'rackley
The irrepressible Maude Parsons, brings her own unique perspective on the history of
Newfoundland and Labrador to the Orléans Theatre on June 12 and 13. She'll take you on a
whirlwind journey with the Adult Acting Class of Orléans Young Players Theatre School as
they wend their way through the twists and turns of some of that province's most notable
events, including the arrival of the Vikings, John Cabot landing at Bonavista and the
adventures of privateer Peter Easton.
This play will have you rolling in the aisles...and yearning for a feast of cod and scrunchions
or a Jigg's Dinner before the final curtain falls.
This show is also THE VERY LAST ONE in the Orléans Theatre, before the move to the Shenkman
Arts Centre, so a double reason to come out and celebrate!!! And don't forget to bring a
friend!!!!

A story about prohibition, written and directed by Susan M. Flemming
Booze and politics--A volatile mixture.
Take a trip into the past with this lively ride through the election of 1926, where the "wets" were pitted against
the "drys" in an attempt to repeal the Ontario Temperance Act. The Cumberland Heritage Village Museum provides

"Quarantine"
written by Susan M. Flemming and Marni Hunt-Stephens, directed by Susan M. Flemming
Called the "strangling angel" diphtheria was one of the leading causes of death in children in the 1920s.
When a young girl in a small rural community is stricken with the disease and quarantined, the community reacts;
exposing their fear, their ignorance and in some cases compassion.
"From my window I can see them going to school in the morning. I hear them laughing and carrying on and yelling
at Evelyn because she’s so slow. Or Gladys teasing Lester because he’s being foolish. I guess I did that too,
before.... laughed and carried on...
They were looking up at the window. They could see me watching them. I was going to wave when I saw Gladys point
and they all started laughing, making fun. They were pretending to hold their breath when they went by....
I guess they think if they breathe the air around the house, they’ll get sick too."
