The stage play, Elizabeth Parker and the Alpine Club of Canada, was a collaborative production between the Alpine Club of Canada and Parks Canada’s theatre troupe, Mountain WIT. It traces the origins of the ACC through its co-founder: journalist and mountain lover, Elizabeth Parker. Though she never reached a mountain summit, she inspired generations to do so.
Written and performed by Laurie Schwartz. Directed by Heather Inglis. Music by Morgan McKee. Videography by @PatMorrow
