Theatre Festival asks for public to help by hosting visiting actors
One of the only international theatre festivals in Atlantic Canada has put out an urgent call for local residents to help provide accommodations for almost 90 actors and crew members expected to arrive in Liverpool in October.
Members of the theatre troupes are billeted at homes around Queens County.
The Liverpool International Theatre Festival happens every two years at the Astor Theatre. The volunteer-driven amateur theatre festival is scheduled for Oct. 17 to 20.
This year, troupes from Morocco, Egypt, the country of Georgia, Mexico, Italy, Switzerland, Wales and the U.S. will be putting on one-act plays in an event that celebrates theatre and international friendship. Winds of Change from Liverpool will also be putting on a play at the festival.
The festival relies on 40 to 60 volunteers from the community to make it happen.
