Learn about the history of the Applewood-Shaver Homestead in Etobicoke through the story of its most famous resident, J.S. Woodsworth. Travel through time in this 1-hour immersive theatre experience as we trace Woodsworth’s entry into politics and eventual founding of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (today, the NDP) inside the rooms of his childhood home.
Each performance is roughly 1 hour; please join us for refreshments after the play. History Live 2019 is a fundraiser in support of the Etobicoke Historical Society.
