Vera McNichol is the subject for the Stratford Perth Museum’s next Strong Female Lead event Tuesday, March 3.
The Strong Female Lead series takes place the first Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. Because of popular demand, the museum added a 7 p.m. “show” next Tuesday.
Please know that both shows are Sold Out and if you did not get a ticket online or call into the museum to reserve a spot, we cannot guarantee you a seat or a spot next Tuesday.
The museum apologizes for this but our space is limited and there are capacity restrictions.
Also, given the number of people from the community involved in the presentation we are unable to add additional shows.

The evening will end with dancing to live music by Corduroy Gordon! Doors open at 6pm and dinner is served at 7pm, Cash bar.
