Memorial Day - July 1st
Memorial Day. Come join us on July 1st, at St. Mary's Church in Cow Head for a special service commemorating Memorial Day in Newfoundland and Labrador. It was July 1, 1916 that is one of the darkest days in Newfoundland history as over 700 soldiers went "over the top" at Beaumont Hamel, France as a part of the opening of the Battle of the Somme - only 78 answered the roll call next morning. This special hour long service marks that day and gives special attention to the men of the coast who served their country in all wars. FREE
Workshop & Reading Series
Ever wonder how we choose our plays? Why we choose a play for our Gros Morne Theatre Festival? Each year at our Gros Morne Theatre Festival we spend a week reading and discussing plays and stories for possible future production. Why don't you come and join us? It's free, it's entertaining and get this - we invite your comments to help us decide what's on the boards at future Gros Morne Theatre Festivals! FREE
