Comedy troupe hosts free show through July

You may experience some hootenanny around Galt Gardens this month.  That is because it is also the name of a comedy troupe that is performing on Rotary Square at Casa. Hootenanny is putting on a free, outdoor, family-friendly play called The Risky Yet Rewarding Adventure of Pearl and Dot.  Stage Manager for the troupe, Serena Lemire gives us a glimpse of what the show is all about.

The Risky Yet Rewarding Adventure of Pearl and Dot runs Wednesdays through Saturdays til the end of July on Rotary Square at Casa.  Showtimes are 10:30 am and 1 pm.
