Letter from a visitor:
Sunday, September 26,
2010
Last Saturday night, I
attended the “Spirit Walk”, an historical play, at the Pickering
Museum Village. The “Spirits” walking were those of the
courageous Ontario pioneers who rebelled in 1837 against the
tyrrancial elite which ruled the province so unjustly. This
Rebellion was the first step in a process which led to true
democratic government, not just for Ontario but for all of
Canada.
The noted Backwoods
Theatre Company, a troupe of dedicated amateurs, presented the
play which was brilliantly executed, and enthrallingly authentic
and emotionally draining, since so many of the rebels paid so
horrifically for their “crimes”. It certain captured the hearts
and minds of the audience.
I would like to thank the
Players for all the hard work and dedication they brought to the
show. For some years now, unfortunately, areas of Canadian
history of major importance to our country’s growth have been
trivialized or ignored completely by our schools and our
entertainment/information media. This makes the work of the
Players even more necessary and vital. Fortunately, they are
absolutely up for the job!
