Early Morning Rain: The Legend of Gordon Lightfoot Comes to MPAC at Mohawk College

Had a great conversation with Leisa Way of Way to Go Productions about their upcoming show, Early Morning Rain: The Legend of Gordon Lightfoot, on Saturday, November 23 at the McIntyre Performing Arts Centre at Mohawk College.

Believe it or not, the show made its debut in May of 2023 in Orillia, the birthplace of the iconic singer/songwriter. The performance took place just days after his passing on the stage that bears his name.

In the podcast, we not only talk about the show, but Leisa also shares how she developed her love of Gordon Lightfoot thanks to her father and how the show was researched and created.

Enjoy!
