Penny-a-Line Players

The Penny-a-Line Players sprang from a need to find actors to perform in Gwynne’s plays.  A small group of thespians make up the Players and they have gone on to do other works . . . murder mysteries, dinner theatre, renaissance skits, monologues, poetry readings, slams, rants and full stage performances.

Directed by David Hunt & Gwynne Hunt

In 2009, Hunt’s new play Love & Rage and two of her children’s shows, Seein’ Things and Summer in the City were performed at F.A.C.E.; June 12, 13 at MCA, Abbotsford to appreciative and enthusiastic audiences.

The Penny-a-Line Players were proud to take on the works of an out of town playwrite; Beth Hudson who wrote the book Snowbodies, and trusted us with her new script, Unwanted Dead or Alive.

Reviews

About Breadlines, Glen Kask, Fraser Valley Record, writes . . .

‘the audience takes it’s chances (on an unjuried festival) and sometimes it finds a gem like Breadlines . . . it is a play that deserves to be seen by a wider audience’

Flokstra from the Times writes,

‘the pick of the Fringe is Breadlines written by Gwynne Hunt’

Charito Gailling from the Women’s Resource Centre of the Fraser Valley writes,

‘we must thank Gwynne Hunt and David Hunt for directing the Vagina Monologues and for their considerable energy they put into casting auditions, back stage work, organizing and just for being who they are’

March 2003, Penny-a-Line Players raised $2,500 for the Abbotsford Transition House

Mia Thomas from the Times,

‘the best came last, Maynard’s Beatnik & Bongo Bar was the place to hang out’

From the Harrison Festival of the Arts,

‘it was a well-thought out presentation, thought-provoking and important to the work we do’
