NEWS FROM THE ACORN PRESS!
From Acorn's latest book, launched at the Rustico Lions Club June 9, 2010: "Growing up in a big family, we'd watch at the window, I guess in the early 1960s. We'd see Dad coming home from the post office, and if he was walking with his hands in his pockets, we knew he'd got his two week pogey, 11 bucks, and we'd have something for supper. And if he was walking with the head down, there wouldn't be too much for supper. We all got stories to tell. Whether it's for a laugh, or to try and live a better life." -- Norman Peters, Fisherman, North Rustico
Be sure to check out Lorne Elliott's play-that-was-an-Acorn-Press-book-that-was-a-play-by-a-different-name, The Fixer-Upper. (Gee, that kinda sounds like Lorne Elliott!) It's playing at the Guild in Charlottetown Saturday and Sunday nights in July and August, getting under way at 8 p.m. It features Laurel Smyth as Aunt Tillie, and her son, Will McFadden, as the hapless Bruno MacIntyre. The production will also feature Lorne in his first acting role.
