TheatreOne’s upcoming Emerging Voices play, Emerge, explores emotions of fear and loss and the challenges of aging and connecting to others through intergenerational relationships.
The play was written by Charleen Phelps, from Courtenay. Her play will be workshopped with professional actors for one day.
The story follows a woman who takes her father to the emergency room. She hopes to have him admitted and declared incompetent, according to TheatreOne’s press release. The play challenges people to think about assumptions and the stories people tell themselves.
The dramatic reading is March 22, 7:30 p.m. at the Harbour City Theatre, located at 25 Victoria Rd. Admission is a suggested donation of $10.
