Delayed by COVID but encouraged by demand, the Milton Community Players present Some Neighbours: Yesterday Once More or, The Quintessential Sesquicentennial Review. A two-act comedy about the 150 years of Prince Edward Island’s participation in Confederation. and what has REALLY happened on the Island since 1873.
Yesterday Once More goes beyond the headlines and visits various families to understand why they moved here, their hopes of raising kids, and becoming part of the community…. and how to navigate all those roundabouts. The trials and tribulations of Freddy, flying from Newfoundland to Prince Edward Island, to meet his prospective bride, is worth the price of admission. His soon-to-be partner, a member of the local church’s PTISSER ladies, is determined to stamp out sins.
Freddy and all the passengers have their problems with the flight from Newfoundland, and there’s speculation they may not make it. It’s a flight you don’t want to miss.
