Serving Elizabeth begins in Kenya in 1952, during the fateful royal visit of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. Mercy, a restaurant owner, is approached to cook for the royal couple. As a staunch anti-monarchist, how can she take the job? Decades later, Tia, a Kenyan-Canadian film student interning in the London office of a production company doing a series about Queen Elizabeth, discovers that there may be more to the story of the royal visit than we have been led to believe. Although she’s been a fan of princesses all her life, Tia learns that fairy tales and real life are very different things.

Realistic
Story of two brothers: one working in a chicken shack in India and his brother who is working under the table at an Indian restaurant in Vancouver. The story of the boy in India and his growing romance with a girl in India is juxtaposed with the story of his brother's cricket team which is trying to bring him over to break their losing streak. The play tackles themes of Islamaphobia, racial violence and the immigrant experience.
Stylized
Exploring the different ways of being a woman in our society – specifically, a young lesbian woman – writer/director Corrina Hodgson juggles time, place, characters and alternate realities in marvelously theatrical fashion. At the center of the story is troubled, imaginative teenager Ginny, dealing with a prom-obsessed gal pal with whom she’s fooled around , a demanding mother, a manipulative lesbian lawyer and a psychologist with problems of his own. -Summerworks '04
