Adding to the JayWalking Theatre Repertoire

Enjoyed the debut of this new story at Tea 'N Tales recently.

It's a beast of a story to memorize, but well worth it.

It's not that it's long, it's just that it has a very casual style and so it is important to get it just right.

It's another story from Charlene Herrold's book "Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears".

I don't have plans to add it to the show although you never know. I can also toss it into the hat for "Heads and Tales".

"The Butter Maker of Connemara". Yes this one comes complete with a leprechaun and everything!

It's a delightful tale suitable for all ages although there's the odd "damn" tossed in a few times😇

Spitfire

Currently working on this play. It's quite personal.

My mother lost her first husband during WW 2. He flew a Spitfire and was shot down flying back to base. He left behind my brother who was a baby at the time. I don't know if the two ever saw each other.

I was born many years later. Mom had remarried. My brother and I were 14 years apart in age.



The play deals with the effects of war, how sometimes the injured never see battle. War scars families for many generations.

When I was about 10 or so my brother came home for a weekend. He was a figure skater with Ice Capades. He brought everyone a present. My present was a model airplane, a Spitfire.

I'm midway through a first draft. We'll see if this has legs.

Right As Rain


Well my new year's resolution to try my hand at playwriting continues.

The latest one is in two acts. 4 Characters. "Right As Rain"

It's set in the 1890's in southern Ontario. Plans to create a normal family life go horribly wrong. Love is such a complicated emotion.

I say I have finished it and yet I keep rewriting the ending. :)
