Meet our Hosts
As anyone who has attended Writers at Woody Point knows, our hosts are the festival's heart and soul. They’re the ones who set the tone for the audience and for the authors and musicians on stage.Ask anyone in our audience what’s unique about those nights and days at the Heritage Theatre and they’ll talk about the feeling the room, the goodwill, the sense that we are all so happy to be there, together.
Full Schedule Coming Soon
We have an incredible celebration planned for you this August and we're excited to let you know that we'll be releasing our full event schedule on Monday, April 15!
Sara Power, Ouroboros, and RASA
Announcing Sara Power, Ouroboros, and RASA for Writers at Woody Point this summer.
Ann-Marie MacDonald and Des Walsh
We love authors who enjoy being on stage. One of the founding principles of our festival was that if we were going to ask people to come indoors in the middle of a perfect Bonne Bay summer, we’d make sure we entertained them.
Elamin Abdelmahomoud, Susie Taylor, Noah Hamilton & David Ferry
Next up in our announcements for this year's festival line-up are Waub Rice, Donna Morrissey, and Looking Glass Ensemble!
Saturday Night at the Legion with Hit Piece
You might want to squeeze in a power-nap, because we're in for an epic Saturday night party at The Legion during this year's festival!
Our old friend Jodee Richardson (Thomas Trio and the Red Albino, Fur Packed Action, Pathological Lovers, the greatest karaoke ever at Galliott Studios…) is returning to Woody Point, fronting a new collective, HIT PIECE.
Peter Mansbridge and Rick Mercer
So this year, we found ourselves looking for a guest interviewer.
Who was out there who would be comfortable behind a microphone, asking questions of one of our authors? And was there any chance that the interviewer could also be an interviewee, someone with their own interesting story to tell? But who might interview them?
Next up in our announcements for this year's festival line-up are Waubgeshig Rice, Donna Morrissey, and Looking Glass Ensemble!
