TVA’s play, Tide of Hope, an introduction to the Nagle and Ryan families of Mitchelstown, Ireland who came to Ontario in 1825 with the Peter Robinson Settlers, was performed in the Market Hall in May and it was a great success! Although we’ve years of experience in theatre with the Cemetery Pageant and our walks and tours, particularly the seasonal Ghost Walks, this was TVA’s first venture into stage production. We’re proud of it.

Congratulations, and our sincere thanks to playwright Ed Schroeter, producers Mary and Greg Conchelos, Director Gerry McBride and all the volunteer actors and others who brought the story to life. Ed is already at work writing about their trans-Atlantic sea voyage! Let’s meet again in the Market Hall next May to see what happens next!

The play, and this issue of the Heritage Gazette, mark the 200th anniversary, next August, of the arrival of the Peter Robinson settlers. Events are planned in Peterborough and vicinity and in Mitchelstown, Cork. In these pages are stories about Tide of Hope and celebrations organized by the local Nine Ships committee and Ballyhoura Development in County Cork. Archivist Elwood Jones provides the background — what was it like in Ireland when the Nagle and Ryan families left for the unknown in Canada. He turns to his favourite book of Irish history for a picture of that time and place. We’ll be keeping an eye on the bicentennial plans leading up to the big event next year here in the HG.
