The Bessie Carruthers Study Club
Beaconsfield Carriage House, 2 Kent Street, Charlottetown PE GPS N46 Canada
Happy to be sharing this co-written show once again this summer at a variety of venues. Suzanne Campbell and I were honoured to receive an PEI Museum and Heritage Recognition Award in March this year for The Bessie Carruthers Study Club show for our work of “profound cultural significance.” It’s also fun! Who would have thought that a fun reunion in 2018 between friends (Pirate Jenny Productions) in Charlottetown, who first met in their early 20’s, would have prompted writing a fringe show for the 2019 Island Fringe Festival … and we are still going folks! After last year’s kind offer by the Souris Showhall to extend the show, have use of their theatre for a week and perform two shows, we are so happy for Ethel and Bessie to have another summer suffragette reunion. This time in Nova Scotia and back in Bessie’s home province of Prince Edward Island.
Tickets $25 at the door.
