Virtual Theatre Fundraiser: The Gardener and the Golfer -
By Dale Hamilton
Everybody’s Theatre Company
Tuesday, March 24 @ 7PM - 8:15PM EST

Join the Canadian Environmental Network for a theatre fundraiser that blends environmental education with laughter and community. Written and performed by Dale Hamilton of Everybody’s Theatre Company, this one-woman show follows feuding neighbours Mary, a regenerative farmer, and Bill, a hedge fund manager, whose clashes over golf balls, lawn care, and fast food spark a humorous but meaningful conversation about soil health, food systems, and finding common ground. An entertaining evening about learning to communicate across differences while supporting environmental action.
