Drowning Girls The Drowning Girls by Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlinson, and Daniela Vlaskalic November 12-28, 2020 At Tbaytel, we believe the arts enhance quality of life and are a key part of building more vibrant communities. Supporting you is our way of helping to make our neighbourhood a better place for everyone. Thank you, Magnus Theatre, for all of the good work you do. We’re in it together CAST HANNA LAAKSONEN Bessie SARAH MENDEK Margaret OLIVIA McINNIS Alice CREATIVE TEAM THOM CURRIE Director GILLIAN JONES Stage Manager NICHOLAS PALINKA Set Design MERVI AGOMBAR Costume Design TIM STEPHENSON Sound Design HANNA LAAKSONEN Props DAVID A BROWN Plumbing LIAM BEAULNE Production Assistant The Drowning Girls received its world premiere at the PlayRites Festival, Alberta Theatre Projects, 2008 The Drowning Girls is staged by arrangement with Ian Arnold, Catalyst TCM Inc. www.catalysttcm.com Any photographing, videotaping or other video/audio recording of this production is strictly prohibited. There will be no intermission during this show. Approximate run time: 90 minutes. Song: “Nearer My God to Thee” (words by Sarah Adams, 1841, music by Lowell Mason, 1856) Magnus Theatre COVID-19 Health and Safety Measures The health and safety of our community remains our foremost concern. We have planned our return to the stage carefully and instituted extensive measures designed to protect all those who enter the theatre complex. Below is a summary of Magnus Theatre’s protocols. Click here for more detailed info https://magnustheatre.com/covid-19-update/. Patron Screening: Do not enter the theatre if you have symptoms of COVID-19, have travelled outside of Canada within the past 14 days, and/or have been in close contact with someone currently COVID-19 positive. Mask Protocols: Please keep your mask on at all times while in the theatre. All Magnus staff and volunteers will be wearing masks at all times. Physical Distancing Measures: Please remain in your assigned seat for the duration of the show. The seating pattern ensures compliance with provincial physical distancing guidelines. Assigned seats have been equipped with removable seat covers. Regular entrance and exit corridors have been altered to help maintain physical distancing. Please take note of signage and markers. Magnus staff will be situated throughout the theatre to provide guidance. If there is an emergency, all exits will be open. Washrooms: If queuing to enter a washroom, please maintain a 2-metre buffer from others. The number of patrons concurrently allowed in washrooms will be regulated by Magnus staff. Use of air dryers in washrooms will be prohibited. Please use disposal towels as provided. Cleaning: All hard surfaces on seats and all high touch areas are cleaned and disinfected with approved COVID sanitizing cleaners between performances. Seat back covers are removed, washed and disinfected between each show performance. Hand sanitizer is available at multiple locations throughout the theatre. Please sanitize your hands before proceeding to the theatre auditorium. Please use receptacles located outside the theatre auditorium to dispose of any waste. Magnus Theatre acknowledges that it stands on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe people of Fort William First Nation and other nations of the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850, lands which hosted an early settlement of Métis people as well. A note from Thom Welcome back to Magnus Theatre. In September, we produced an open-air production of A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline in our backyard, with audiences, actors and band all observing strict Covid-19 protocols. The show completely sold out. Many of our patrons approached me following the performance with a heartfelt “thank you” and a simple question: “when can we come back to the theatre?” We began to consider the options: more outdoor programming, or a new kind of Magnus Theatre indoors, with every attempt to maintain a safe and healthy environment in which to tell our stories? With the northern climate starting to threaten snow, we decided to bring the show back indoors. We have converted the Magnus Theatre auditorium to a traverse stage, with the audience split to both sides, in order to facilitate social distancing without sacrificing the intimacy of the performance, and we are instituting a series of Covid-19 protocols for the safety of the artists, staff and patrons. Check them out on page 4 of this program. The Drowning Girls was always going to be a part of Magnus Theatre’s 2020-2021 Mainstage Season. It is a gripping true crime story that has taken the world by storm since it premiered in 2008. As I was searching for a play to resume indoor productions, The Drowning Girls kept coming back to me; it could logically be staged respecting social distancing, it involves a small number of actors and it can be riveting on a traverse stage. I hope you enjoy the play and this trio of powerful Thunder Bay women making their professional theatre debuts. Welcome back. Please stay safe. Thom Currie Artistic Director The Playwrights Daniela Vlaskalic, Charlie Tomlinson, and Beth Graham met at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Together, they created The Drowning Girls, a play which has had a long and surprising life. Since premiering at Alberta Theatre Projects’ Playrites Beth Graham Festival in 2008, The Drowning Girls has been performed in professional theatres, high schools, community halls, and found spaces across Canada. It has also been published by Playwrights Canada Press and produced internationally in the United States, the UK, New Zealand and Australia. The play has received Sterling, Betty Charlie Tomlinson Mitchell and SATA awards, as well as the Gwen Pharis Ringwood Literary Award and a Dora nomination. Daniela now lives in Toronto, Charlie in St. John’s, and Beth in Edmonton. No Scents Makes Sense! Due to the number of people with allergies, Magnus Theatre strives to be a scent-free theatre. Please avoid Daniela Vlaskalic using perfumes, colognes or other scented products prior to the show. autohomepaints.com The Cast Hanna Laaksonen (Bessie) Hanna is beyond thrilled to be back on the Magnus Theatre stage.

Available at: https://digitalcommons.augustana.edu/swensonsag/vol22/iss1/7 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center at Augustana Digital Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Swedish American Genealogist by an authorized editor of Augustana Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Swedes in Canada 53 Two final comments-one a substantive criticism and the other merely a voiced frustration-need to be made. First, I was surprised to discover that the extra letters found in various Scandinavian alphabets (e.g., a, a, o, ¢) do not appear in personal names and place names in this database. This omission-it is clearly not an oversight-is una,cceptable and should be corrected in future versions. Second, the Church readily admits that the VRI for Scandinavia is "a partial collection of the records available from the countries and time periods represented." So, in spite of the 4.5 million vital records (and the estimated 10 million total names) included in the database, it will prove frustrating and/or totally inadequate for a significant number of potential users.

  • Transportation in Ontario As Being Made in the Province, Too
    TRANSPORTATION SHAPING THE ENVIRONMENTAL HIST0RY OF ONTARIO Transportation of things over any distance is uniquely human. It enables us to draw on the riches of nature, and it leads to the deepest transformations of our environment. The history of our province has seen many advances in transportation. It also reveals many impacts on people and the environment. This historical study seeks understanding of the environment as residents saw it, together with the challenges it posed for them. The study is focused on technological advances in transportation. It recognizes decisions by organizations private and public to use technological change to advance movement of goods and people within (and across) the province. This study builds on an earlier study of transportation in Northern Ontario.1 That stage is no small one, since Northern Ontario constitutes seven-eighths of the territory of Ontario. Most Ontarians live in the lower one-eighth, of course, and they have made so many of the decisions that shaped the history of Northern Ontario, including the development of transportation. Since the Canadian capital is in Ontario, we may include national decisions about transportation in Ontario as being made in the province, too. Among the most important were decisions before the Great War to build railways across Northern Ontario. It has been said that there was an over-building of railway lines during the Laurier era. This national question receives an interesting answer in Northern Ontario. That is only one of the contributions of this study. This article surveys Ontario transportation development in four parts. The first looks at transportation driven by muscles or the forces of nature.
