We drew inspiration from these sources to design our set based on the schooners of Port Credit’s stone-hooking trade, and our story, which drew on characters such as “Mad Cap” from Port Credit’s past. Home incorporated traditional as well as contemporary song and dance forms. We created a production seeking to embody a past, and contextualize the present...
