Dear Friends:
The selection of plays at STC only gets better and better; this year's array
was stellar.
"Wingfield Lost and Found" was exceedingly delightful; Dan Needles created
another great story. Rod Beattie is mesmerizing in his portrayal of all of
his neighbourhood friends; I especially like the 'Squire'. Being a woman, I
find 'Maggie' such a resourceful woman. Long live Needles, Beattie, and the
theatre!
Respectfully,
Laurie T.
STC would love to hear from all of our patrons. If you have a story you want to share with STC please email, marketing@sudburytheatre.on.ca.
