The Late Bloomers:
Dinner and a Show
The Late Bloomers Musical Comedy Group originated in 2004. It brought together four individuals with complementary talents who had been performing in various capacities for more than 30 years. They present our local heritage, culture, dialect and humour through music, song, stories and joke telling. Iris Tremblett plays Lou, Eliza Swyers plays Lizzie Jane, Harvey Mouland acts as Wish from Bonavista and Craig Pardy is Lester from Port Union. These performers are proud residents and project plenty of energy and enthusiasm to their audience. Laughter is a medicine and we could all use a good dose - sometimes an overdose!
