The production is created by Megan Murphy and Kate Suhr who also star in the show. It is directed by Managing Artistic Director Kim Blackwell with musician Saskia Tomkins joining the duo onstage playing music.
Performances will run Tuesdays through Saturdays from August 17 to August 28 as tickets go on sale starting Monday and are available to purchase through 4th Line Theatre’s Box Office.
Murphy and Suhr created the first version of the show in the summer of 2020 to connect with and perform for people during the pandemic. They traveled around the region to people’s porches, verandahs and backyards performing their captivating show for intimate gatherings.
“I am filled with excitement to be hosting Kate, Meg and Saskia at the Farm this summer. The Verandah Society shows in 2020 gave our community much-needed art and was a balm on our souls in a dark time,” explains Blackwell “This summer, the songs and stories that Kate and Meg have created will bring art back to the Farm as we begin to recover from our time of isolation. I cannot think of three better artists to guide us forward.”
“We're so thrilled to be collaborating with the 4th Line team this summer,‘ said Murphy and Suhr. “To have the first show back after COVID at the Farm is an absolute delight. We can't wait to have a live audience join us safely on the verandah.”
