MANITOBA MUSIC
Written/Composed by JIM LeFRANCOIS
Director & Dramaturge EDWARD ROY

MANITOBA MUSIC is a large-scale musical we are workshopping in January.
Looking for strong Actor/Singers, comfortable tackling contemporary
vocal styles, including Rock and Country.

SYNOPSIS:
Darryl is a musician who lives in Toronto. His world is closing in. When
he receives a call from rural Manitoba letting him know that his last
surviving Grandparent (Kaye) is ailing, Darryl jumps at the chance to be
with her - and for time away to face his fears.

He treks to a small town Manitoba and is drawn into the life of the
sleepy town - developing relationships with a single mom who works at
the bakery (Donna), a young guy working in the oil patch (Shane), and
the socially conservative woman charged with his grandmother's home care
(Cheryl).
