Blyth Festival extends run of recently successful play

The Blyth Festival has announced they are adding three performances of the hit show Cottagers and Indians by Drew Hayden Taylor.

Artistic Director, Gil Garratt, says the play has been a huge success, audiences have loved it and it's been selling out night after night. Cottagers and Indians was scheduled to close on August 6th, but the cancellation of The Waltz, due to COVID issues, presented the opportunity to extend the run of Cottagers and Indians.

New dates for Cottages and Indians are now August 9th, 10th and 11th. Tickets can be purchased online at blythfestival.com or by calling the box office at 1-877-862-5984.
