A place they can hopefully come back to that still feels like home. Built as a town hall, marketplace, and fire engine house, the Brockville Arts Centre has stood for over 175 y ears as the heart of the community. In Echoes Down the River, five beloved local performers weave together the history of the world-class opera house with their own stories from within its walls.
The show features a scr ipt written by Jessica de Bruyn (Elizabethtown-Kitley), di rection by Seanna Kennedy (Elizabethtown-Kitley) and a cas t of familiar faces: Joey Herbison (Brockville), A llison Hess (Elizabethtown-Kitley), Seanna Kennedy, James King (North Augusta), and Rebecca Rodley (Brockvi lle). This is a love letter to the stage that raised us.
