The Sunshine Theatre presents the play, Home Child, by Laura Teasdale, in the tent at Coldbrook Park in Knowlton, Quebec, on Friday, August 26, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Admission is pay what you can.
The play is based on a true story from a complex and fascinating part of Eastern Townships history. From 1872 to 1912, the Knowlton Distributing Home under the direction of Annie MacPherson received almost 5,000 British children and found local families to take them in. The stories of their experiences range from fairy-tale happiness to absolute horror.
Coldbrook Park is on Lakeside Road near the Mill Pond.
