A family-friendly musical comedy is just the theatrical outing this season needs — and it's coming your way thanks to a New West theatre partnership.
Capricorn Theatre Productions and Vagabond Players are presenting Confessions of a Grocery Clerk, onstage at Bernie Legge Theatre in Queen's Park from Dec. 1 to 18.
New West's own Grace Hight takes the lead as Emma in a story based on the real-life experiences of playwright-director Lauren Trotzuk. The story follows Emma at her first job as a grocery clerk in The Store.
Along the way she meets Bev, the veteran with 30 years' experience behind the till; Karen, the single mom working to make ends meet; Avery, the caring university student; and Gwen, the lovesick "perky one." The women share their clerking "confessions" with Emma and draw her into their supportive work-life family.
Playing alongside Hight are Pam Rochon as Bev, Mandy Knopp as Karen, Jaci McPhee as Avery and Raelyn Schatz as Gwen.
