Theatre Collingwood introduced the Porchside events as a way to continue to present performances during COVID-19. The events were so popular despite attendance and masking restrictions throughout the difficult COVID times, they have been included in the 2023 Theatre Collingwood calendar as regular programming.
On July 24th, the popular Quammie Williams was welcomed back to Collingwood. This year Quammie performed with Tiki Mercury Clarke (vocals and piano) along with a bassist.
