Wanted to let everyone know how my trip to the Royal Manitoba Theater went on Oct. 14. Larry, Celine & I plus the community actors, Louise Daymond & Isla Gorton, helped us read selections from The Thirteenth One. Steven Schipper, the retiring Artistic Director, told us that his one great regret was that he couldn't do my play at this theater. Many friends & relatives enjoyed the reading and had some good laughs too.
