River Valley Rendezvous! historical vignettes
Each vignette explores local history in the form of a narrated series of historical images and drawings. The stories were created by community seniors participating in the project's writing workshops. Voice-over narrations were by local youth and amateur actors from Theatre Wakefield and the music was performed by local professional musicians. The final vignettes were produced by Rooney Productions.
