The Deep River Theatre Operating Committee is excited to host outdoor performances this weekend.
Dance presenter Patti Kinghorn says they will have two shows on Sunday at Unity Park in Deep River, one at 1:00pm and the other at 4:00pm.
You’re encouraged to bring a lawn chair as people will be seated in the lawn by the waterfront.
COVID-19 restrictions will be in place and those in attendance are asked to follow guidelines or any signage in place.
Kinghorn says they recruited two dance companies for the shows on Sunday (July 25th, 2021).
The free performances are sponsored by the Department of Heritage Canada who is supporting artists get back in front of live performances.
Kinghorn says CORPUS will perform “Camping Royale”, which is a bit of a comedy, a bit of a fairy tale and features two Queens who go on a camping adventure.
There will be a 5-minute break before Christine Friday will perform “Maggie & Me”. She is a professional contemporary dance artist and choreographer who is Anishinabbe kwe from Friday’s Point on Lake Temagami in Northern Ontario. Her latest piece, “Maggie and Me”, explores community, family, history, and the power of a healing dance as scenes weave through the dream realm, spirit realm and the present realm. Christine will stay after each of her performances – you are invited to stay and hear about her inspiration in developing the piece and ask questions about her culture and dance.
Each event will run approximately one hour.

The Deep River Theatre Operating Committee will be presenting a “Garage Music Tour” on Friday, September 10th and Saturday, September 11th.
There will be a choice of three venues to attend with live music at each.
Coming soon……
