Dixon, a prolific novelist and playwright, penned the upcoming 2013 Festival Players show The Notorious Right Robert and his Robber Bride. This 1930’s Bonnie and Clyde style production promises to be a lot of fun and an adventure to boot! Guns, cars, horses…good ol’ cops and robbers!

Come meet the playwright, hear a sneak peek of the play itself and a selection from Dixon’s other work. And yes, perhaps a bit of banjo playing too!

The reading is followed by a Q & A and Dixon will be available to sign copies of his published works. His novels include The Many Revenges of Kip Flynn and the children’s novels The Feathered Cloak and The Winter Drey.

The Notorious Right Robert and his Robber Bride plays outdoors at Rosehall Run from Aug 7 to 25, 2013.

Monday April 8th – 7:00 pm
Books & Company – 289 Main Street Picton
FREE admission – No reservations required

In 2012, Festival Players of Prince Edward County celebrated our sixth season of bringing live, professional theatre to the County. With six amazing years under our belt, we can look back on our successes and forward to an exciting future; a future filled with stellar talent, superb productions and truly unique theatre experiences for residents and visitors to the County.

In the County, as with everywhere in Canada, ticket sales and FlexPasses cover only a small portion of the cost of producing professional theatre. It takes a great deal of resources to bring dozens of artsts from across Canada to join our local talent in Prince Edward County. Your support as a donor is essential to the existence and future of Festival Players.

Did you know that the true cost of a Festival Players ticket is over $100?

Through donations and partnerships with local businesses and government, we are able to keep all of our ticket prices under $30. Tickets are offered as low as $5 for a student. We work hard to ensure our shows are accessible to everyone in our community, and we look to our supporters to help us achieve that goal.

We are inviting you to play a big part in the future of Festival Players.

We hope you’ll consider making a gift to Festival Players, to help us offer more to our community now and in the future.

“Harvest  produces a crop of laughs… audience issued a steady stream of chuckles and laughter throughout.” - Jack Evans, Belleville Intelligencer

Read the full review here.

Harvest is the endearing and entertaining story of an older farm couple who retire, move to town and rent out their old farmhouse to someone who seems to be a ‘nice young man’. But things aren’t always what they seem.

A funny, fast-paced show that has won awards and praise across the country, Harvest, is based on the real-life experience of the playwright’s own parents. The play, deemed ‘comic gold’ by the Calgary Herald, is a witty and wise-cracking romp, sure to delight audiences.
