Trent Valley Archives Theatre's production of "Crossing Over" is a somewhat fictionalized account of the voyage of the John Barry, dramatizing the people and events that were involved in the emigrant transport ship's perilous journey to Canada. But what really happened on the voyage, and who were some of the key historical figures involved in this small part of the Peter Robinson Irish Emigration? Historian Don Willcock will outline the historical highlights that shaped the production. The presentation will be accompanied by 19th century music performed by local musician Michael Ketemer, who is also the musical director of "Crossing Over." Light refreshments will be served and a cash bar will be available. This is a fundraiser for both Trent Valley Archives Theatre and Right to Heal, and a portion of the proceeds generated from this event will go to support both organizations. Doors open at 2 p.m.
