Montgomery’s Legacy : Celebrating Island Writers Today
|
Montgomery Theatre Honours Rose Cousins, Kent Stetson and Cheryl Wagner with Special Concerts this summer The second annual Montgomery’s Legacy Concerts honour Island songwriter Rose Cousins, playwright Kent Stetson and television writer and producer Cheryl Wagner. For the second year, we celebrate writers who are lifting our hearts with their words 100 years after Montgomery did. These intimate joyous concerts take place at The Montgomery Theatre, North Rustico. Artists from a new generation, unusual art forms and unexpected connections express their love of these three Islander writer/heroes in an entertaining night of fun. The full list of artists participating will be published on our website as the evenings approach. “Last year’s celebrations of Lennie Gallant, Angele Arsenault and Frank Ledwell attracted artists and audiences from across the Island. These evenings were so inspiring and fun we were delighted to organize three more. And this years recipients couldn’t be more appropriate. Rose Cousins, the ECMA award winning song writer from Cousins Shore will be celebrated on July 30th. Read about Rose, the glorious poet of Cousins Shore here: www.rosecousins.com The 90 minute concerts begin at 7:30 and are followed by a party which goes on long after. All tickets are $20 and are available now at www.themontgomerytheatre.com or 902 963 3963 This series is produced with the generous support of Heritage Canada.
