Crossing Over: Sequel to the Hit Play Tide of Hope
May 29 - 31A FUNDRAISER FOR THE TRENT VALLEY ARCHIVES
One Matinee Only: Saturday, May 31, 2 PM
Commemorating the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the Peter Robinson settlers from Ireland to our district in 1825, 'Crossing Over' is a fictionalized account of the voyage of the emigrant transport ship, John Barry.
Get your ticket, step back in time, and set sail with the Hagertys, Nagles, Owens, Regans, Ryans, Slattery’s, Sullivans, and Youngs on their perilous, six-week journey across the Atlantic. This story of tremendous courage in the face of the unknown is narrated by John Keleher, an experienced seaman and Peter Robinson settler.
Prepare yourself for the ride of your life: storms, seasickness, scarlet fever, family feuds, petty larceny, plots and counterplots, rotting potatoes, mutiny, and the lash.
The dramatic voyage embarks at the Market Hall Performing Arts Centre, Peterborough, on May 29, 30, & 31, 2025 at 7:30 PM and on Saturday, May 31 at 2 PM. The play is suitable for ages 14 to adult. The running time of this play is approximately 80 minutes. There will be a 20-minute intermission.
