One of the most popular attractions during the Elizabeth
Bishop Arts Festival in 2011 was the horse and wagon ride through Great Village.
Gordon Lewis, his wonderful horses and a brightly coloured wagon took eager
visitors along “Nelly the cow” route (that is, Scrabble Hill Road). On board was
Elizabeth Bishop – that is, Truro, N.S., actor Beth
Terry portraying Bishop, who told stories about her childhood in Great Village.
Beth Terry will be reprising her role as Elizabeth Bishop,
and Gordon Lewis is back on the wagon seat as Pa Bulmer, at the Elizabeth Bishop Festival in Great Village on 8 August 2015.
Beth
Terry has been performing for 30 years, both on the stage & behind the
scenes. Originally from Newfoundland, Beth
moved to Nova Scotia
in 2002. Since 2005 she has been teaching music in Truro, where she lives with her husband, and
four children. Beth has been involved in community theatre, and recently scored
an award winning one woman play called “Mabel’s Last Performance,” which
performed at the 2014 Halifax Fringe Festival. Beth is excited to be taking on
the part of Elizabeth Bishop again this summer, to share the rich history of
this extraordinary woman!

wonderful horses, Beth is tucked in the seat behind Gordon.
