The Wakefield Players are planning to expand their theatre workshop activities to Aylmer and Shawville.   With the support of the Regional Association of West Quebecers – which is responsible for this Cultural Bulletin – they are hoping to secure funding from Heritage Canada in order to establish a regional base for their community theatre productions.   It is intended to bring in David Diamond, a director with an international reputation, from Vancouver to take charge of the venture.
The Players’ publicist Brenda Rooney says:  “It’s a step towards regionalism.  The workshops will focus on social issues in the community, and then that would be the basis of a new production.”
