Teri Souter, Huntsville Manager of Arts, Culture and Heritage came up with the idea for the play, When Winnie Knew<\/em>, based on a book by Roy MacGregor. She consulted local actor Grant Nickalls and Roy MacGregor himself and they put together “what was absolutely a spectacular production,” said Huntsville Mayor Scott Aitchison at Huntsville Council’s July meeting, also noting that local musician Sean Cotton composed and performed original songs throughout the play.<\/p>\n

“It was done to celebrate of course a rich culture of history in our community, but it was also done in an effort to raise just a little bit more money for the Huntsville Hospital Foundation,” said Aitchison. If you missed the play, there will be another chance to see it on September 7, 2017.<\/p>\n

Proceeds from the play were directed to the Huntsville Hospital Foundation to help with the much-needed purchase of equipment at the Huntsville hospital. You can click on this link<\/a>, to find out more about the Huntsville Hospital Foundation’s work and its need for ongoing support.<\/p>\n
