Administrative history / Biographical sketch
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.
