POYNTZ by Lisa O’Connell
March 18, 4pm
Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery, 25 Caroline St N, Waterloo, ON N2L 2Y5
A third-generation survivor of residential school, Ellie is taking in the whole damn catastrophe as the result of a startling discovery – and not the one you think. A smart take on family, legacy and gentrification. A workshop presentation of an original new play.
