Toronto, Mississippi is moving gem by award-winning Canadian playwright Joan MacLeod. While this is a play about the power of family and love, it is finally a play about self-destruction and creation. At its heart is Jhana, whose character begs the question whether the other characters - her mother, a boarder in her house, and her Elvis Impersonator father are any less handicapped than she is. She's good company-funny, driven, passionate and yearning for the same things those around her yearn for-if they can get over their preconceptions about the mentally handicapped and give her the space to achieve her dreams.

As part of director Carlo Garcia's Living Philanthropic mission, he will personally be donating $1 to Marklund's Children Home for every ticket purchased for Toronto, Mississippi. For more information, please visit: www.livingphilanthropic.com

Toronto, Mississippi is directed by Carlo Lorenzo Garcia and features Daniel Behrendt, Eve Rydberg, Laura Sturm, and Luke Renn.

Designers include William Anderson (set), Stefin Steberl (costumes), Matthew Gawryk (lights), Carlo Lorenzo Garcia (sound), CoCo Ree Lemery (paint charge), Mary Patchell (stage mgmt.)
