Title

Writers At Woody Point - A Festival of Writing - Home

Description

The Writers at Woody Point literary festival in Woody Point, Bonne Bay, Newfoundland had it’s inaugural season in 2004. The festival is organized and presented by the Friends of the Woody Point Heritage Theatre. In the first two years, the festival played to sold-out audiences. Again,this year, as in the past two years, the event will be hosted by Shelagh Rogers of CBC Radio One’s “Sounds Like Canada”.

The lovely and historic Western Newfoundland village of Woody Point, on the south shore of Bonne Bay, is surrounded by the breathtaking landscape of Gros Morne National Park. Writers, artists and scientists are drawn here from around the world.

Homegrown talent runs deep, too -- in art, craft, music and award-winning architectural restoration. In the heart of the community stands the Woody Point Heritage Theatre, built more than a hundred years ago. Owners Charlie and Joan Payne have carefully restored and renewed this cherished village feature, which has been the lively home of community dances, suppers, meetings, plays and concerts over the years.
