Join us outdoors for an original musical by The Barefoot Players, the Queen’s University School of Drama and Music’s theatre troupe for young audiences. The troupe will perform Just Can't Wait, all about how the last two years have shaped us and how we hope to shape the years ahead.

Bring a blanket or lawn chair, and join us in the Lions Civic Gardens (outside the Isabel Turner Branch), July 2 at 11 a.m.

Must xenophobia and dystopia be our future? Local SF writer Jerri Jerreat doesn't think so, which is why she's offering an online writing workshop to help you to write crisp, exciting stories set in the future which influence readers in positive ways, July 5 at 2 p.m.

The story must still entertain, so this workshop will provide tips and practice at creating believable, diverse characters to draw your readers into your tale. Recommended for ages 12 to 21.
