Theatre Guild performing A Life Before
Take a step back in time and into the paranormal when the Peterborough Theatre Guild presents the latest play to take to the PTG stage.
The play is written by and directed by Peterborough playwright Robert Ainsworth.
The play centres on a man who has strong memories of an abandoned house that he has never been to.
As the house draws him in, he begins to unravel the truth that lies within the deserted building.
The play is set in the present day and harkens back to the 1950s.
Evening performances are slated for Thursday, Friday and Saturday and continue next week from March 9 to 11 at 8 p.m. There is also a matinee scheduled for Sunday at 2 p.m. The PTG has entered
in the upcoming Eastern Ontario Drama League’s fulllength spring festival set for May.
Additionally, Ainsworth is up for some awards in the EODL spring festival for work on two of his plays,
and Daughter Michelle Ainsworth couldn’t be happier.
“It’s very exciting. I’m extremely proud of him,” she said.
