The annual Guided Spirit Walks are back again this September and we’re excited to share the profiles of the historic people included this year, and our wonderful cast of volunteer performers who will portray them.

For our last character/performer profile, we introduce you to Meaghan Lamothe as our tour guide Jane Smith!

A little about Jane Smith…

Jane hates Jane Austen and novels in general. She’d rather the masses consume history and has set out in the cemetery to find more exciting stories from our city’s past, than anything any fiction can offer.

A little about Meaghan…

Character: Jane Smith
Seasons with Guided Spirit Walks: 3 (once acting and twice volunteering)
Favourite Tour Year: “2019 – I loved the costumes and the energy of that tour. It was also when I got to see my husband act for the first time.”
Favourite Character: “I didn’t play them, but I loved Ian and Irene’s characters talking about the temperance movement and making the audience pledge a vow to abstain from drinking.”
Favourite Costume: “My safety vest when I volunteered for traffic duty. It was quite flattering.”
What can our audiences look forward to most? “The audience can be prepared to have a great time. This years tour is fun and informative and full of some great characters!”
