The energy and joy which flows off that stage must be experienced to be believed…. It’s unique, it’s good ... the material is tender and reflective without becoming cloying or giving into easy answers. — Mooney on TheatreWell

Coming Soon To...

A new resident at the Alpine Retirement Home upsets the status quo, unleashing repressed desires and igniting conflict between staff and residents and their adult children. These struggles, and their dreams for their futures, create a bond between four of the Home’s residents – Claire, Alice, Hal and Nelly. They embark on a journey that forces them to wrestle with the power of choice and its consequences, and that challenges stereotypes about age, love, family, friendship … and freedom.

Spend Your Kids’ Inheritance was a hit at its premiere at the Toronto Fringe Festival, with sold-out shows and a Patron’s Pick award.
