Historic Cobourg could have a Summer Theatre Festival to honour literature. We are not a University Town, but we could become again, at least in the summer a window of opportunity to students who are studying theatre and journalism.
The Town has a huge inventory of costumes waiting in the dark, and a lot of wonderful young people who would love to work as performers/actors for the first time, even in a park, near Lake Ontario. Modern version of Romeo & Juliette, etc... their poetry could be fully appreciated by the public, young and old.
Literature is fascinating, it has an active role (reading) and a passive one(reflective /ideology).
Theatre by-the-Lake. The Cobourg library could extend a participating role to that effect. They could also provide more activities by creating a room to instruct reading nautical chart, as we are "Cobourg by the Lake", and we do have a sailing school. We could develop a specialty of legends on the water, etc... We do have a lovely lake, rosa rugosa flowers, willows, lighthouses, a pier, floods, gails, extraordinary sunsets etc...
Sucessful communities are creative and opened to new ideas.
Of course, something could be done to build a wish list to name our streets after Canadian writers and foreign ones, special ships and their captains, as long as it is done in good taste, and monitored by professionals.
