New Forest Voices
Location The Main Pavilion in Springwater Park
You are cordially invited to hear a reading of a new play-in-development by a dynamic young playwright, centered on themes of marriage, betrothal, and commitment. This play is still growing, putting down roots and sprouting new leaves: it still needs plenty of sun, soil, and fresh air. It’s only natural, then, that this reading should take place outdoors, in Springwater Provincial Park.
Bring a picnic, sit back, and come see this new script brought to life by a team of expert actors. In keeping with the outdoor setting, it is suggested that audience members come dressed as woodland creatures, or in their most fashionable foliage.
Something Old, by Keara Voo
Lily Chan is getting married. Her mother, Stephanie, is excited to begin the wedding planning and embark on this once-in-a-lifetime journey with her only daughter. Lily, too, is excited, but has a slightly different vision for her wedding: Lily is biracial, and wants to throw a Chinese wedding to celebrate her Chinese heritage. When Lily asks her beloved Pau Pau to help her plan the wedding, Stephanie — who is white — feels more and more alienated. When tragedy strikes, Lily’s family must rally to help Lily pull off a wedding that, while it may not end up being the most traditional, is one that honors where their family has come from and who they are today.
FREE ADMISSION POLICY A security charge of $0.01 CAD is required to validate booking. Patrons can cancel or reschedule up to 48 hours before the performance without charge. Please email admin@tift.ca to make any changes.
In the event a patron fails to cancel or make alternate changes and does not attend the performance, a $25.00 charge per ticket will be applied per ticket to the patron’s credit card. This charge will be used as a donation to the theatre and a tax receipt will be issued.
