PASS THE MUSTARD! 7/28/2022
Nothing says summer and fun like a great hot dog. In the spirit of eating together and building community, Green Wood will offer free hot dogs at Memorial Park (beside Port Hope Town Hall) on Thursday evenings (5:30-6:30 PM) throughout the summer. Drop by to say hello. We're there as part of the Road to Cultivate concert series at the bandshell (music starts at 6 PM).
STOCKPILE HOPE LIKE TOILET PAPER.
6/29/2022
Shane Koyczan, internationally acclaimed poet and spoken word performer, has offered some much-needed hope for a better tomorrow through his recent video performance, 'Tomorrow'. Earlier this year he released the poem on YouTube speaking a message of hope for what 2022 could bring. “Stockpile hope like toilet paper,” he says. But he also says it will take time to heal. The way out of this is with love, Koyczan says. With his powerful words, Koyczan says “there will be a tomorrow, there will be dancing, dating, live concerts, beaches and Ferris wheels, open mic and art.” Green Wood Coalition is thrilled to be presenting Shane Koyczan live in Port Hope, this summer. The beautiful and historic Port Hope United Church will echo with Koyczan's voice, backed by the musicians of The Short Story Long. Truly a remarkable and memorable evening for our community. Tickets are only $33 (plus applicable fees).
Shane Koyczan & The Short Story Long Thursday, July 21, 7:30 PM Port Hope United Church, Port Hope, ON
SHANE KOYCZAN CONCERT ANNOUNCED 5/5/2022
There seems no shortage of adjectives to describe a Shane Koyczan show. Moving, hilarious, challenging, provocative, or inspirational. Take your pick.
Here is a writer that takes you on a tour of your own feelings in a way that leaves you grasping for your own heart just to make sure it’s still in your chest. His work has become a staple in schools for both its impact and reach. Shane curates a kind of art gallery that displays sculptures of the human experience each time he speaks.
Lauded for his sold out live performances around the world, from Olympic Opening Ceremonies to theatres and music festivals, Koyczan has carved out his own artistic path and taken his work beyond the conventional. We're excited to bring Shane to a local stage this summer.
