Belleville’s River and Main Theatre Company has received multiple awards for a one-woman play.
The awards came from the Eastern Ontario Drama League One Act Play Festival, which was held over the previous weekend in Kanata. The company’s world-premiere production of “The Story of My Life”, by Belleville playwright Peter Paylor, was recognized by veteran adjudicator Annette Procunier with The Rural Root Theatre Company Award for Best Production of a New Canadian Play, and the play’s star Alexandra Bell came home with the Pauline Grant Award for Acting. Bell along with Nathan Mahaffy also won the Margaret Shearman Award for Outstanding Contribution to Theatre.
This is the fifth year River and Main has operated out of Theatre in the Wings on Bridge Street East in Belleville. Their next production is “After Mom”, a Christmas play with performances set for December 3 to 6 along with December 10 to 13.
