St. Catharines' Mayor Walter Sendzik has presented internationally-renowned playwright Norm Foster the Key to the City.
The presentation took place at the world premiere of new Foster's new play at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre last night.
“The Key to the City is presented to individuals whose contributions in their career reflect positively on our city – an honour we are proud to present to Mr. Norm Foster,” said Mayor Sendzik. “Through his original pieces, Mr. Foster’s plays reflect real life and humanity, sharing stories with humour and wit, and have helped put St. Catharines on the map as a world class destination for original theatre and cultural experiences.”
In 2016 Foster created the Foster Festival with a summer seres at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre. His newest show is “Come Down from Up River”.
