Patricia is grappling with a decision to make: should she accept financial compensation under the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement or opt out of the settlement process? In reaching a decision, Patricia remembers the recent experiences of her grandchildren who broke into a boarded-up residential school that she had once attended with her sister MaryAnne. Her grandchildren’s supernatural/spiritual experiences in the school ultimately lead Patricia to find release from the hold that the school has had on her.

Historical
"This play is based on the true life of Indigenous WW2 Hero Tommy Prince in a fictional bank robbery. Set in the early 50's before universal health care, Tommy needs to raise $5,000 to get his son a life saving surgery. Left with few options he decides to rob a bank. The problem is, even with his military background, he cares about people to much to see them get hurt and when the bank doesn't have $5,000 in cash things really get complicated. The bank manager Charlie also wants to make sure no one gets hurt and while Chief of police Leland "Barbarian" Barber raises the stakes outside the bank, Charlie goes to work trying to outsmart them all. A funny, heartfelt comedy that entertains while gently examining what could have been, had Tommy Price come home to the heroes welcome he deserved after the war." - from the publisher
