Claudia is an official pre-teen, still reeling from her parents' divorce. Her father is getting re-married, she has a science fair project coming due, and she is in the physical and emotional throes of puberty. Finding refuge in the basement of her school, Claudia discovers the pain at the centre of her brimming child's heart. Some important adults in Claudia's life—her grandfather, her father's new girlfriend, and the school custodian—shed light on her situation.

This play contains some coarse language.

Stage North will present I, Claudia on April 22nd-24th at the North Peace Cultural Centre.  Showtime is 7:30 PM.  Tickets are $20 for adults, $17 for students and seniors and $14 for children.

Jhana, is a beautiful eighteen-year-old who lives with her mother Maddie and their boarder Bill, a sometime poet. Jhana’s father, King, shows up partway through the first act and its his presence for the first time in a long time in this unusual family that really galvanizes all four of the characters into action.

King is an Elvis impersonator, getting sick and tired of doing the same old song and dance. Jhana is mentally handicapped and working at her first “job” in a workshop for disabled people where she puts four screws in a bag and then another four screws in another bag and so on. In her mind she is on stage at Maple Leaf Gardens singing and strutting her stuff, just like her father does. Maddie is trying to keep it together while working full time as a teacher and as a mother, too busy to admit to her own loneliness. Bill is harbouring all sorts of feelings for Maddie that he is afraid to act on.

Stage North will present Toronto, Mississippi on April 29th- May 1st.  Showtime is at 7:30 PM.  Tickets are $20 for adults, $17 for students and seniors and $14 for children.  Tickets are available from the Cultural Centre Box Office, by phone at (250) 785-1992 or 1-877-785-1992 or online.
