Are you interested in traveling to Fredericton this Sunday, March-20-11, to see TNB's version of Hockey Dreams, written by Miramichi's own David Adams Richards? If so please bring in only $20 and the permission slip (attached, or provided by Ms Barrieau) ASAP, as participation will be on a first come, first served basis (only 25 seats available). The cost of $30 covers your transportation and ticket. A bagged lunch will be necessary and money for supper at mall food court will also be required. Students had a blast at our last adventure before Christmas, and this one is sure to be a hit, especially with the hometown connection!
Here is a synopsis of the play: Stafford Foley is on a quest to be in the NHL, to have his own rink, or even just to play at all. Most pro hockey players say their favourite time to play was when they were a kid. Hockey Dreams brings to life that sense of awe, wonder, and possibility; mixing exhilarating on-stage skating with the bittersweet letting go of childhood dreams. A tender, funny, and heartfelt production that speaks to us all about what it is to be Canadian and dream.
