Join the Essex County Library for an evening with author Richard Scarsbrook. Richard grew up in Olinda and went to Ruthven Public School and Kingsville District High School. We’ll be discussing his latest release “The Troupers.”

***

The Trouper-Royale Orpheum Galaxie Theatre is a jewel in the entertainment crown of Niagara Falls. At least, that’s what the marquee out front says. To the Fabulous Trouper Quintuplets their family’s old theatre is a thorn in the crown of their adolescent memories.

Under their famous-child-actor-turned-director father’s overbearing and narcissistic eye, the quintuplets are raised on a strict diet of Golden Age entertainment and homeschooling to mold them into the best actors of their generation. But through a series of hilarious and tragic events, the siblings begin to develop their own personalities and ambitions, rebelling against their father’s aspirations for them.

This event will be virtual and hosted on Teams. For more information and to register, click here.

We’ll be doing a draw for an autographed copy of the book.
