Let There Be Love
Alfred is a "quintessentially grumpy" elderly man, originally from the West Indies who is attended to intermittently by his thirty-year-old daughter Gemma, who struggles to manage the pressures brought about by Alfred’s aging as well as the struggles of trying to make ends meet in London. When Alfred’s new Polish home-helper, Maria, starts work in the house, Alfred finds a new role in life, and a new chance to make connections before it is too late.

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
