The life of the late Goldie Semple will be celebrated on one of the many stages she made her own during a too-brief career.

The Shaw Festival announced Thursday that a celebration of Semple's life and career will take place on the stage of the Festival Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake on March 28 at 3 p.m.

Semple died on December 9 after a long battle with cancer. She was 55. She is survived by her husband, Lorne Kennedy, and by their daughter Madeline and will be remembered for numerous appearances at the Shaw and Stratford Festivals and most of the major stages in Canada.
