Lady in the Lighthouse: the Catherine Gallagher Story

Catherine Gallagher lived in Chebucto Head lighthouse from 1928-1950. During that time she had many experiences from raising three boys at the edge of a cliff to surviving the Second World War being a lighthouse keeper’s wife. Catherine was a strong woman in her own right as she had a career as a school teacher, was a performer of songs on the radio, and one of the most prolific informants for folklorist, Dr Helen Creighton.
This show performed by Cindy Campbell-Stone will explore Catherine’s life through story and song.
