A world premiere, "Wild Irish Geese" by Megan Murphy is the story of Irish settlers and their journey to the Peterborough region. Peter Robinson was the architect of an 1820s emigration plan which saw thousands of Irish families come to Canada to escape the brutal poverty which they were facing in Ireland. Eventually over 2,000 impoverished Irish settled in Scotts Plains, later renamed Peterborough and began their lives anew. These new Canadians planted deep roots in the Peterborough area and have thousands of descendants both locally and across the globe. Directed by Kim Blackwell. Preview performances on July 29 and 30 with opening night on July 31 and performances on Tuesdays to Saturdays from August 5 to 9, 12 to 16, 19 to 23, and 26 to 30, with an additional Monday performance on August 25.
