Troubles at home prompt shy Charlie to escape to a rural fishing lodge in Georgia, where he is convinced to act the part of an exotic foreigner who speaks no English. His ruse sparks a hilarious web of misunderstandings as he inadvertently becomes privy to secrets and scandals that culminate in a showdown between the charming locals and the town villains. With a delightful blend of humour and heart, The Foreigner celebrates the unexpected connections that emerge when people rally for a common cause.

Daniel Maclvor weaves a poignant story of three sisters in a Cape Breton kitchen as they confront their dying mother's wishes. Agnes, a struggling actress in recovery, seeks reconciliation with her past; Theresa, a disillusioned nun, finds solace in caring for her mother; and Louise, is a social misfit discovering newfound independence. This long-overdue journey to Marion Bridge becomes their story of reconciliation, love, and healing.

Overview

In an era where stories are central to helping people develop their worldview, it is essential that Christians become skilled dramatic storytellers. At the 2-day Drama Xchange festival, students learn from master artists, receive feedback about their own storytelling performance skills, and discover ways in which to capture the hearts and minds of their audiences.

The Drama Xchange presents an opportunity for your school’s drama department to interact with professionals in the theatre community, to perform in a showcase for peers and to exchange ideas about the power of Story as a redemptive influence in today’s culture.

Each school will be given a twenty-minute (maximum) performance time to showcase the work of your students on a blank stage under theatre lighting. It is a great opportunity to share a sample of a full production, or a variety of scenes, monologues, etc.  Each school will be adjudicated by a professional theatre artist who leads a feedback session following the performance.

Your students have a chance to meet and learn with drama students from other school in workshops, taught by the artists of Rosebud Theatre and School of the Arts. Workshop topics include Devised Theatre, Voice, Character Creation, Drama Ministry, Movement, and more.

Attendance at a Rosebud Theatre show and talkbacks with theatre artists completes the Drama Xchange experience.

With warmth, humour, and an interactive twist, this poignant performance celebrates resilience, gratitude, and reminds us of the beauty hidden in everyday moments.
