I’m a member of Sharbot Lake’s North Frontenac Little Theatre in Ontario. I’m just wondering if you would be interested in looking at a three plays I’ve written, one of which I directed for the theatre this spring? That was a musical, The Boy Wonder, my homage to the Hollywood musicals of the thirties with public domain songs of the era. You can see production photos on our website, http://www.nflt.co. Another play is a romance-drama, Crazy, featuring the music of my daughter, Becky Siamon who is a Halifax singer/song writer. It’s set in the early seventies about the trials and tribulations of a country music group when it comes to the “girl singer.” And finally, a drama inspired by the Dostoyevsky short story, White Nights, called Dearest One. It’s about finding or not finding “true love.” It’s set in a Nova Scotia coastal town during the late 1800s.
