This Week in Chester
Today, right now (!) from 1-3 pm there is a presentation at the
Train Station about Lyme's Disease. Rob Murray is a board member of the
Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation. He will speak and answer your
questions.
Tonight, Wednesday, the Chester Playhouse presents "Crippled" at 7:30 pm.
That's
what the guys in Tony's small community of Shale Harbour Newfoundland
used to call him growing up. The name stuck. Years later, Tony finds
himself on the St. John's waterfront at a crossroad. Tired of living
with a disability, of being 'the cripple', and still grieving the death
of his same-sex partner three years earlier, Tony believes there is only
one way to escape a life he no longer wants to live.
His mind is
made up, until a stranger appears with other plans. Playwright Paul
Power shares his true experiences of growing up with a physical
disability and grief after loss.
This is a story of love, death, life
and redemption. You will laugh, cry, and you will walk away with a new
perspective about life and what matters.
