Airport Tales ZOOM production was a hit, at Bloor West Village last December....The show is light-hearted, entertaining, funny and above all human “Road Movie” at 30,000 feet. The indomitable Evalina, journeying back to the old homestead to celebrate her 90th birthday, battles — and conquers — security checks, seat-mate problems, lost luggage and a somewhat fraught family reunion.
AND TODAY'S NEWS is that
Creative Lobster Productions podcast of "Airport Tales" will be released on Sunday, May 28 at 7 pm. Harper as the equally indomitable high-flying nonagenarian, Evalina, Harper stars in both the podcast and the Village Players zoom production, and was the Director of Libman's recent production of "Leap of Faith". Play will be followed by a Q&A with playwright and other members of the production.

What People Are Saying About Our Projects
In the Audience
ML Dodick - Actor
Leap of Faith is a deft behind-the-scenes look at a political campaign - with an unexpected twist. The performances shine and it was a pleasure to watch.
Lynn Oldershaw - Actor
It was such a treat to see [Leap of Faith] onstage. I figure a sign of a good show is when I wish I was up there myself performing in it... and that's what I kept wishing.
Anne Tait
film producer, playwright & novelist
[Leap of Faith is] a timely story with interesting characters and an intriguing mystery.

City Councilor Shelley Carroll talks "Women in Politics" at the Leap of Faith Talkback

Toronto City Councillor Shelley Carroll was the star of the “talkback”, after the matinee performance of Leap of Faith on Tuesday, June 2, at the Village Playhouse. Answering questions from audience and cast, she charmed everyone with her honest assessment of both the difficulties and the successes when working at the municipal level. Noting one project that took 15 years from start to finish, the one word that came to mind was “persistence”. After so much time and energy had been invested, she and her colleagues just had to keep going until success was achieved. When asked why women are still a minority in holding political office at any level – outside of the so-called glass ceiling, which has been cracked in at least some areas by now – one surprising answer is that political campaigns at any level require donations. But women, on the whole, are reluctant to ask for donations to fund their campaign, while men have no problem. And without funding (within the set limits) there is no way to finance a campaign. Asked if Laura Lewis, the onstage character, had a chance of winning her campaign for mayor, Carroll thought for a moment and concluded that Lewis’ solution to the dramatic problem presented, offered hope for success.
However, as the current run of “Leap of Faith” ended in June 4th , we’ll never know! On the other hand, Carroll was returned to office with a huge majority in the recent elections in the City of Toronto.
