4th Line Theatre Presents the world premiere of Onion Skin & Peach Fuzz: The Farmerettes
4th Line Theatre is excited to open its 2024 Summer Season with the world premiere of Alison Lawrence’s Onion Skins & Peach Fuzz: The Farmerettes. This play is a funny and enlightening exploration of the largely unknown story of the teenage girls who stepped up and worked on farms across Canada to feed the troops, and indeed all Canadians, during WWII. These ‘Farmerettes,’ all in their 90s now, tell us that the summers they worked those farms were the best of their lives, even 70 or more years later.
July 1 – July 20, 2024
Previews: July 1- 2, 2024
Opening Night: July 3, 2024
Monday to Saturday at 6 pm
