Gas Girls
Gigi and Lola live by one motto: love for gas, gas for cash, cash for living, living for love. Living in Zimbabwe's depressed economy, both women live day-by-day, plying their trade with the truck drivers that stop at the border. Gigi knows the limitations of her trade, while her young protege, Lola, looks for love in every man that comes her way. Lola's brother, Chickn, ekes out his own living while keeping an ever-watchful eye for Gigi's affections and Lola's safety. But love is not a luxury these girls can afford. Through story, song, and play, Gigi and Lola inspire each other to find joy on the edges of survival.

Stormbound (Crystal Ice Reflections)
Stormbound (Crystal Ice Reflections) is a play that revolves around the lives of five ethnically - and otherwise - diverse Canadians living in Mme. Fleurant’s rooming house in downtown Montreal. Set during the Quebec ice storm of 1998, a steep, ice-coated, wrought iron staircase outside makes escape treacherous. While inside, landlady Mme. Fleurant is living behind layers of lies and years of denial. A neighbour’s jazz piano playing, and the arrival of a mysterious young man, spark memories while divisive issues of race, language, sexuality, and deception force Mme. Fleurant and her tenants to confront the shared human need for love, truth, acceptance, and ultimately family - in whatever form it takes. Carol Cece Anderson
