Bay of Quinte MPP Todd Smith congratulated representatives from three Prince Edward County performing arts festivals on $71,283 in Celebrate Ontario funding today.
Smith says The Festival Players of Prince Edward County will receive $56,750, the Prince Edward County Chamber Music Festival will receive $10,000, and Comedy Country 2019 will receive $4,533 as part of a province-wide $13 million fund to support events that drive tourism.
Festival Players managing director and producer Paul Flicker says the money will support the company’s 2019 season, which begins on July 9.
The County’s professional theatre company says it will stage four productions between July and September, while also providing a concert series during the Wellington Water Week festival in August.
