It’s hard to believe that ten years ago this November Theatre on the Ridge (then Theatre 3×60) staged its very first production – Vimy by Vern Thiessen, which we then toured to Durham high schools the following year.
To mark the anniversary, we have invited our original cast members back to Vimy once more and we’ll return to Hope Church, the location of our first production. We can’t wait to present this beautiful play once again as a staged reading.
Set in France in 1917, Vimy explores the trials and tribulations of four wounded Canadian soldiers recovering in a field hospital in France in the wake of the battle for Vimy Ridge, waiting to find out where they'll be sent next: back home or back to the front.
