Anna Kerz with music by Susanne Farrow – With a Stone in my Pocket
How do you buy chicken soup in Toronto when even your chickens don’t speak English?
It takes a little ingenuity and a lot of courage as you will hear. Beginning in an Austrian D.P. camp in the early 50’s, and ending in a skinny, stuck-together rooming house in Toronto, Anna’s lively tales are filled with characters and experiences that will touch your heart and tickle your funny bone. Accented by Susanne Farrow’s evocative music, these stories have a universal quality that will resonate with anyone who remembers their childhood.
Advance tickets $10 (plus HST). To purchase tickets call 519-748-1914.
