A Meaford Councillor is putting on a new play about the municipality’s history as part of Meaford 150.
Coun. Harley Greenfield says his play The History of Meaford-150 Years In 125 Minutes will premier at Meaford Hall on Nov. 3 at 2 p.m.
“The name gives a pretty good indication of what we are going to try to do on that Sunday afternoon,” says Greenfield. “The items in the play are from actual, historical happenings in the Town of Meaford, mainly activities that the Meaford council had to deal with with over the last century and a half.”
He says the play will break down special events and municipal matters decade by decade, starting with the first council meeting in 1875.
“We have 10 members of the Meaford Goldenaires, they are a ladies singing group and have been in existence for not as long as the town has but for quite a number of years. Every couple of decades they are going to bring us usually two songs from each era and that should add a nice touch,” says Greenfield.
As a Meaford native and councillor for many years, he created the amateur production to share the municipality’s history with the younger generation.
“I am hoping people find it interesting and would really like to see a good turnout at the hall,” says Greenfield.
More details on the ticketed production can be found on the Meaford municipal website here.
