Excerpt from the article:
"Director Candy Pryce suggested the play to the SST reading committee after discovering it in a bookstore. She said, 'It's beautifully written, and it's funny. It’s a situation that we recognize and it's producible for us.'
The theatre’s stage is small by some standards and yet set designer Sandy Bishop and her team were able to set up a bedroom, kitchen and a living room/dining room in a cozy house that allows the six actors believable space to bring the characters to life."
About “Having Hope at Home”
Having Hope at Home is a Canadian comedy by playwright David S. Craig. On a cold winter night, in a drafty Ontario farmhouse, a baby is about to arrive and modern medicine meets midwifery in a torrent of family feuding. Tensions rise between three stubborn generations but so does laughter. This heart-warming story of forgiveness and hope reminds us that sometimes the human heart takes the longest way home.
Recommended for ages 13+ (some adult themes and mild language).
Having Hope at Home runs February 28 - March 16, 2025 Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm, Sundays at 2 pm.
