This Week in Chester
The Chester Playhouse summer season is in full swing, and this week you can embark with them on an odyssey as they present The Other Women Theatre Collective production of 'Tidal Women Braving... the Storm'. Three strong narratives intertwine and explore the lives of women who express their fears, frustrations and joys through writing. Audiences will enjoy an evening of music, poetry and memoirs of women from different eras, with a decidedly salty atmosphere.
The show runs from July 18 - July 21 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee performance at 2:00 p.m. on July 21. Tickets are $31 for adults, and $15 for youth and are available at chesterplayhouse.ca
