Scenes from Memory in the Mud. Photos: Eugene Beck.

Join Words in Motion for a movable drama and historical tour around Evergreen Brick Works. Famed Canadian geologist Arthur Coleman, the German prisoners of war who worked here during their internment, the industrial processes of brick making and the homeless people who slept here during the great depression, are just some of the fascinating stories brought to life through interactive, found, theatre. Curriculum links abound as the site evokes the voices of the past and the future. But be warned... you could get muddy!

Performances meet and begin in the Young Welcome Centre and last for approximately 45 minutes to an hour. In the event of rain, presentations will occur in covered areas only.
