Theatre Orangeville is bringing three big-name authors to its stage this fall, offering local residents a rare chance to hear from internationally recognized writers without leaving town.
The Authors on Stage series kicks off October 4 with British historian and espionage expert Ben Macintyre, followed by former federal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould on November 17, and Canadian novelist Mary Lawson on December 6. Single tickets are $40, or you can get all three events for $100.
Macintyre will discuss his newest book, Redwood: The Untold Story of the Cold War’s Most Extraordinary Spy, published September 15. He will be interviewed by award-winning Canadian journalist Michelle Shephard.
Wilson-Raybould, Canada’s first Indigenous Minister of Justice and Attorney General, will talk about her forthcoming book The Inbetween Leader: Cultivating Courage and Unity in a Complex World, co-authored with Roshan Danesh and scheduled for release September 29.
Lawson, an acclaimed Canadian novelist whose debut Crow Lake became a New York Times bestseller, closes the series with her fifth novel, Solace in Winter, out November 10 in Canada. She will be interviewed by former CBC journalist Bernadette Hardaker.
All events take place at the historic Opera House at 87 Broadway. The series is presented in partnership with BookLore, Orangeville’s independent bookstore, and all proceeds support Theatre Orangeville’s New Play Development Fund for new Canadian plays.
Tickets are available through the Theatre Orangeville website.
