The Plays
WAITING by Elyne Quan
What happens when time has passed and you return to where you last saw a good friend, hoping to see them again? Filo is about to find out.
BIG EARS by Chris Dodd
Maggie has a really big secret which she likes to keep under her hat: the fact she has enormous ears. Upon moving to a new town and starting a new school, she realizes that keeping her secret from being found out will be a lot harder than she thought. However, Maggie soon discovers what she thought was a disadvantage is actually an advantage thanks to those big ears.
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE BERRY PATCH by Julie Golosky
Last Halloween, a trick was played
Now near a year, as Bertie finds
That nightmare’s back again
But life is both the good and bad
As Elders sure do know
Just take a breath, and look around
Find beauty where you go
All ticket sales will be matched up to 50% by our charity partner Shaw Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink.
