Whew! We did it! We opened on the 17th! It was amazing and powerful! Standing ovations practically every night!
The panel discussion on Sunday the 20th was magical to say the least. A gentleman who is a torture survivor from Chile approached me after the play and sobbed in my arms. He was so moved, so raw because he had, for the first time in his life, seen himself and his experience on stage. He shared his story with us during the panel's q & a and magically spoke about a Canadian woman who had helped him in the transition when he first arrived in 1974. He mentioned her name and someone pointed out to him that she was sitting but three seats away from him. Unbeliveable! We all got teary eyed as they hugged and said hello after so many years.
We are all really, really proud of the work that is being done in The Refugee Hotel. You don't want to miss this show! To buy your tickets logon: www.artsboxoffice.ca or call 416-504-7529. For more information please call Alameda Theatre Company at 416-428-7638.

Marilo
