Summer Play Readings 2011

June & July 2011

Dreary and Izzy

Old Fire Hall - June 22nd, June 28th & July 8th

1975, Lethbridge Alberta. When the Monoghan sisters lose their parents in a car accident, Deirdre remains as the sole caregiver to her older sister, Isabelle. Just as Deirdre is poised to enter university and begin exploring, for the first time, her own future and independence, she must choose how much of her own life she will sacrifice for the love of Isabelle. Deirdre is barely staying afloat under the strain of this reality when hope arrives in the form of gorgeous vacuum cleaner salesman Freddie Seven Horses. Both sisters find in Freddie a new world of unexplored emotions and ideas, where Freddie is a port in a storm.

The July 8th reading took place on the CHON-FM Mainstage, next to the Old Fire Hall, as part of the Adäka Cultural Festival.
