Starless

After Ralph’s World I was chided by a former artistic director about the character of Ralph, and questioned about my knowledge of homelessness and homeless people. So I volunteered for three years with a street newspaper, Alberta Street News, interviewing and writing profiles on the vendors, who were marginalized and sometimes homeless. Starless was the result. Produced at Walterdale as part of their New Works program in May of 2014. Photos of the Walterdale production here.

Directed by Marsha Avanova, Dramaturgy by Tracy Caroll.
