The Story of Paddy Iron
Date: Nov 15

Where: Theatre
The life of Paddy "Iron" McCarthy of Renews is brought to life by Randy Crane with musical accompaniment by Larry Brazil. Adapted from Frank Holden's play, Paddy Iron, in turn inspired by Bertha Thorne's Book It's Like a Dream to Me. This play recalls Paddy's memories of everyday and extraordinary events of Newfoundland throughout the 20th century from the crash of the SS Florizel, to fishing, community dances and politics. Complemented by archival images, this play will bring you back to days gone by.
Events & Programs
Reimagining the classic bedtime story, Matthew-Robin Nye explores how spaces of imagination can transcend categories like child and adult, inviting reflection on how we learn, feel, and connect to artwork across generations.
Through this work, he asks what it means to build environments that are open, attentive, and alive to shared experience—places where visitors can simply be, and where curiosity and presence unfold at their own rhythm.
