Scope and content

To celebrate Grande Prairie’s 100th anniversary in 2014, the Grande Prairie Century Play Society was formed in 2012 to develop and perform a historical play. Done in the model of Colway Theatre Trust’s “community plays”, the Society contracted a small team of theatre professionals and community volunteers to plan, write, fund, and perform a three act play as well as some related activities. The performances of the play were held in Muskoseepi Park between June 12th to 15th in 2014.

This fonds contains records created by the Grande Prairie Century Play Society during these activities, including planning documents and correspondences, meeting minutes and agendas, interview transcripts and script drafts, as well as brochures and a video recording of the play performance.
