Play Details

Play	HAVING HOPE AT HOME by David S. Craig
About the Play	A comedic family drama. Canadian playwright. Set locally. Synopsis of the play: “In a drafty farmhouse not far from Perth, Ontario, a comedy of forgiveness and hope. Laughter and tension rise as three generations dance between expectations and realities. A baby is about to arrive in a torrent of family feuding while modern medicine meets midwifery head on. Can a baby heal the rift or will it take another generation? Playwright David S. Craig shows us how the human heart sometimes takes the longest way home. A lighthearted look at a family learning to love again.”
