I have been involved in theatre for very close to forty years now and to see the amount of interest in this project is heart warming. Having worked on high school stages, converted army huts, college multi-spaces, an old Hudson’s Bay building, a home furnishing store, the University of Victoria and the Janet Richey Centre Stage Theatre, I feel that we could play in a black box theatre or anywhere that an audience and actors can intermingle, would be right for us. The packing house would fit the bill. Good on you Linda, et al.

I love this idea , as a local artist I hate that we can only sell our hande made items in the summer at the market . I think we would get lots of attention from other communities, everyone loves granville island.

Why isn’t this initiative being shouted from the rooftops? This is a very important venture! There are so many people interested in pushing forward with these kinds of concepts that are being blocked by our elected officials and their staff, who talk the talk, but refuse to walk. Also, the concept of using arts and culture as an economic driver is a completely established fact with so many precedents that are impossible to deny, so why is it so ridiculed and dismissed as some sort of idealistic folly? Perhaps we can’t count on any support from city hall, and we’ll have to do it ourselves.

Absolutely brilliant! We have so much talent in the local area, talent that needs to be showcased, and what a way to honour/remember the way of life that helped develop Summerland.

What a wonderful and worthy project and what a beautiful magazine! I think Summerland is a lovely place and your magazine certainly shows it at it’s best. Well done.

Dear PipeDream OfCourse

I too hope this project becomes a reality as it would well reflect the character of the town, and it would also raise the bar and attract other quality projects.
