Today, we are delighted to have a visit from Celia McBride, Dave Dines and Dave Carley, who are all playwrights and have written 10 minute plays which will be twice presented at Fringe Fest on September 14th as part of Northumberland Festival of the Arts. Dave Carley is a Canadian playwright. His plays for stage and radio have had close to 500 productions across Canada and the United States, and in many countries around the world. They include Writing with our Feet (nominated for the Governor General’s Award), The Last Liberal, The Edible Woman and, most recently, Twelve Hours, and Canadian Rajah.  Celia McBride is a writer and spiritual director from the Yukon now living in Port Hope. She had a 20 year career as a playwright and theatre artist. Celia published a memoir called “O My God: An Un-Becoming Journey” in 2022. Her plays have been produced across Canada and she is still writing new ones. Dave Dines is the co-owner and manager of the Ganaraska Brewery in Port Hope built by and for local people. Growing this successful business has kept him very busy since its opening in 2021 but in his spare time he writes plays.
