WORLD PREMIERE

“Remember, you’re not steering the boat. You’re finding the wind.”

Every year, Cathy’s younger brother David calls home to Calgary on his birthday. This year the phone doesn’t ring.  As the days and months pass, Cathy embarks on a heartrending journey to discover the truth behind his disappearance at sea, and what she uncovers brings her closer to finding the truth of her own heart. This inspiring true story demonstrates what it means to live an authentic life filled with love, loss and boundless dreams.


When I first read Cathy’s memoir, I was captivated by its striking boldness and raw honesty. We’re transforming her story into a unique and magical one woman play. Combining multi-media video projections and Cathy’s vivid story telling, this is a world premiere of a Calgary woman’s story. Unforgettable.  - Dennis
