"Wingfield on Ice" to be performed at the Steinbach Bible College.
The Steinbach Arts Council is proud to present “Wingfield on Ice” February 21 at the Steinbach Bible College.
Each season, MTC takes live theatre to communities throughout Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. MTC has been touring the province for more than 40 years, and the Steinbach Arts Council is thrilled to have them back!
As the first frost comes to Persephone Township, Walt and Maggie Wingfield are prepared to welcome new life to their farm – she’s expecting and he’s nesting. Alarmed about old feuds that divide the neighbours and disturb the tranquility of the community, Walt tries to reconcile strained relationships. His attempts to mend other people’s fences are met with a resistance as stiff and cold as the weather itself – and the biggest challenge to all of them is looming on the horizon.
This slice of rural life is the fifth of seven in the Wingfield series, which follows stock-broker-turned-farmer Walt Wingfield, in a mythical township north of Toronto. While performing in the series for over 25 years, Rod Beattie has won three best actor awards. Audiences will feel at home with familiar characters that in the blink of an eye grow into old friends.
Tickets available at the SAC office – call 346-1077! This will be a night of “theatrical magic”.
