A Place to Call Home: Living Heritage at Cupids is a live, interactive journey through the history of Cupids, from 1610 to the mid-20th century. With actors in period costumes, this immersive production blends historical fact with fictional storytelling to explore what “home” has meant to different generations — the battles they fought, the hardships they faced, and the legacies they left behind. Step into the lives of three fictional characters, each from a different era, whose personal stories of hope, fear, and resilience are woven through 400 years of history. Their voices bring new life to the artifacts — the bricks, the thimbles, the shipwreck fragments — transforming museum pieces into deeply human connections that resonate across time. This unique experience captivates visitors of all ages, creating a powerful emotional journey that leaves you with a deeper appreciation for our shared past and the cultural fabric of our province. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e666c9a6eab8331acf7b405/d47a3967-068d-4ff6-9ffe-81aed4ad5248/LivingHistory-2.jpg Living Heritage - An exciting, insightful, and inspiring piece of living interpretation It will inspire the imagination in ways that complements our existing interpretation. A strong female voice, Kathryn Guy, who has “lived” through the history described in the exhibits and has opinions on them that will give you a deeper appreciation of the human lived experience that began on the shores of this community, province and country many hundreds of years ago. Together with contributors like Trudy Morgan-Cole and Danielle Irvine of Perchance Theatre*, we have worked hard to create an exciting, insightful, and inspiring piece of living interpretation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e666c9a6eab8331acf7b405/bade41d3-92dd-40e2-9591-d7530c783bc3/LivingHistory-3.jpg Living Heritage - Showtimes: From July 8th – August 30th, 2026 Wednesday to Sunday**: 11am; 1pm and 3pm.
