Meet Lynne Templer, the linchpin of an inconspicuous warehouse in small-town Ontario that houses 30,000 theatrical treasures.
This episode follows the arch of Lynne’s involvement from an 8-year-old volunteer to a 70-year-old leader. Along the way, she wears and accumulates many hats: child of a performing arts-loving funeral director, a special education teacher, the wood working and furniture restoration instructor in a violent youth offender's detention centre and the longest-standing volunteer at the Costume House.
This is the story of how a life-long passion in the performing arts became Lynne’s way to ensure that she gets to incorporate ‘play’ every day! -
