Some of the many theatre productions we've mounted over the years. We have archives with lots of clippings and other tidbits that we add here from time to time, maybe we will post items from some of your favourites. The names for the theatre group presenting these shows varied a bit and we think carefully about how to ensure continuity in how we report the history. The names for NGCT, KPI, and St. James Players are well established in documents that show how the group evolved, changing its name according to the needs of the day. The preceding group, Play For Fun, is also well-linked in our history. One way we demonstrate continuity is by looking at the people involved, including such early players as James Morton, Vida Hopson, Jane Kingston, Mrs. F. J. Parish, J.M. and Kay Purvis, and W.B. George.
