ROD BEATTIE

A veteran of eighteen seasons and over 50 productions with
Ontario’s Stratford Festival, Rod Beattie is one of the most
respected and versatile actors in Canadian theatre. Featured
stage roles include Narcisse in The Passion of Narcisse Mondoux at
London’s Grand Theatre; Ed in Ed’s Garage at the Grand Theatre,
Manitoba Theatre Centre and Theatre Orangeville; Felix in  The
Odd Couple at Segal Centre, Montreal; Johnny Pateen Mike in The
Cripple of Inishmaan at Theatre Calgary; Bill in  The Love List  and
Greg in Sylvia at the Belfry Theatre, Victoria; John Proctor in The
Crucible and Father Gustave in Blessings in Disguise at Manitoba
Theatre Centre; the professor in  Oleanna  at the Grand Theatre
and the National Arts Centre (opposite Sandra Oh) and Andy
Ladd in an Ontario tour of Love Letters (opposite Martha Henry).
Over the past thirty plus years Rod’s name has become synony-
mous with the Wingfield series which has brought him acting
awards, rave reviews and sold-out houses in Toronto, London,
Stratford, Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina,
Winnipeg, Ottawa, Saint John, Fredericton and a host of smaller
communities across Canada. Rod and Walt made their American
debuts to great acclaim at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park in
1994. Rod is the winner of the 1991 - 92 “Dora” Award (best per-
formance by an actor in a leading role) for his performance in the
first three Wingfield plays. In 2017, he was appointed Member of
the Order of Canada.

“Beattie is astonishingly adept “With his man-next-door
at transforming himself from face - perfect for a character
one character to another in a like Walt - Beattie flows to
matter of seconds, calling up other roles with a twist of the
echoes of a crotchety Walter lip, an arch of an eyebrow, a
Brennan, a gawky Jimmy different bend in the back and
Stewart or a flustered Bob a wonderful array of different
Newhart.” voices.”

DAN NEEDLES

Dan Needles spent half his childhood in the city and half
on the family farm at Rosemont, Ontario. After university he
went to work as editor of the local newspaper in Shelburne
where he created the character of Walt Wingfield, the retired
stockbroker turned farmer, who told about his adventures on
the farm in a series of weekly letters to the editor. In 1985,
Dan drew from these columns to write his first play Letter From
Wingfield Farm. Wingfield’s Progress followed in 1987, Wingfield’s
Folly  in 1990,  Wingfield Unbound  in 1997,  Wingfield On Ice  in
2001, Wingfield’s Inferno in 2005 and Wingfield Lost and Found in
2009. Dan writes for six publications these days: Harrowsmith,
Small Farm Canada, Farmers Forum, Watershed, In the Hills and
On the Bay. He’s also the winner of the 2003 Leacock Medal for
Humour for  With Axe and Flask,  a comic history of his fictional
Persephone Township. He is the author of a number of multi-
character stage plays including  The Perils of Persephone,  Ed’s
Garage, The Last Christmas Turkey (a musical), The Team on the Hill,
and Fair Play. Dan has collected the Wingfield plays in a novelized
book version, Wingfield’s World, published by Random House. His
latest book, True Confessions from the Ninth Concession, published
by Douglas & McIntyre, is a collection of his magazine columns
over the last 25 years.

“Dan Needles has much the “a kind of philosophical Will
same gift for gentle comedy Rogers with a flair for the well
as England’s James Herriot of told anecdote that is like the
All Creatures Great and Small best of W.O. Mitchell, AND IT’S
glory.” FUNNY!”
