Elmwood Cast Makes History
Wednesday March 03Elmwood Theatre’s latest production has garnered rave reviews from staff, students, parents, community members and the Ottawa Citizen Cappies team alike! Directed by Elmwood’s own Ms. Angela Boychuk, and ably acted by members of Elmwood’s Middle and Senior Schools (and of course, Dr. Mahin!), Love and Work Enough...and More was at times somber, at times hilarious, but wildly entertaining and enlightening throughout!
The adaptation of Canadian playwright Peggy Sample’s lively work featured fictional and non-fictional female characters from the 19th century—brave women who documented their emigration from Britain to Upper Canada and West Canada. The original play was expanded to include the stories of a number of African-American women who also found themselves coming to Canada, and these roles added to the production in an incredibly moving way.
The Ottawa Citizen Cappies review also declared the play a great success: “Anchored by the actresses' utter devotion to their characters, the cast and crew of Elmwood were artful in the delivery of a poignant and virtuous performance. Fluidly executed scene changes and an animated cast were among the triumphs contributing to the production's success.”
Congratulations to everyone involved!
