CORNWALL, Ontario - “People need something fun to go to” commented Lacie Petrynka, director of the comedy musical Nunsense which will open on Feb 11 at the Seaway Valley Theatre Company on Sixth Street in Cornwall. The play, with the book, lyrics and music written by Dan Goggin, is a full musical with a live band, sing and choreographed dancing in the SVTC production. Petrynka explained Nunsense was to have been performed in 2020, but Covid-19 precautions and restrictions necessitated it being cancelled. Fast forward to 2021 when the SVTC production of The Sound of Music was postponed and the decision to perform Nunsense in replacement was made. Nunsense rehearsals began in December 2021, with Petrynka mentioning with a planned opening in February, there was not a lot of time for people to learn the lines, songs, and dance numbers for the play. She was impressed with the dedication of all crew members, mentioning the performers rehearsed at home as well as the theatre. There are five cast members, Shelley

Cameron as Reverend Mother, Sue Kingston as Sister Hubert, Heather Ramjist as Sister Robert Anne, Haley Taylor as Sister Amnesia and Emma St. Louis as Sister Lee. She continued there are at least 20 to 25 people involved with the production including producers Lise Richer and Christiane Taylor, musical director Elizabeth Caddell and choreographers Melanie Samis and Stephanie Charette. The pandemic has certainly presented challenges to theatrical productions, with Petrynka explaining the performances will be following all pandemic precautions, with a 50% capacity allowed in the theatre. “We feel very confident we can put on a show in a way that will keep everyone safe and have fun at the same time” she commented. Tickets are $25.00 per person and are available for sale online at svtc.theticketwicket, by phone at 613-933-3998, with all sales final. More information is available at www.svtc.ca. The play will run over three weekends, with evening performances on Feb 11, 12, 18, 19, 25 and 26 beginning at 7 p.m. and matinee performances beginning at 1:30 p.m. on Feb 13, 20 and 27.

CORNWALL, Ontario – The Prime Square development located at the corner of Pitt and Second streets in Cornwall entered a new phase on Monday, Jan. 31 with the pouring of concrete into what will be the first floor of the five story residential building. Once completed, the building being constructed by Tri-Star Construction will feature 44 residential units and commercial space on the ground floor. “Prime Square will be an amazing place to live – with restaurants and shopping right next door and the waterfront just a short walk away,” said J.C. Godard, President of Tri-Star Construction in a media release from when the project first began over the summer of 2021. Apartments in the building will range in size from between 418 sq. ft. to 790 sq. ft. and Godard explained that rent will be set at an affordable price. The issue of availability of affordable housing in Cornwall was something that Godard said he wanted to address. “We have seen increased demand across our other properties and know that Prime Square apartments will be in demand,” said Godard. “At the same time, we also recognize the need to keep rents affordable and to create a positive living experience for our tenants.” The historic site in the heart of downtown Cornwall was been consistently occupied from 1825 until 1997 when the then King George Hotel was destroyed by fire. The Prime Square development is scheduled for completion by the end of this year.
