A new dark comedy theatrical production, 鈥楶roblem Child,鈥� hits the stage in 91原创, with Kristine Brams of Walnut Grove playing the main character of Denise.
Brams fell in love with theatre in elementary school and became heavily involved in the art while attending D.W. Poppy Secondary.
After she graduated, she unintentionally took an 11-year hiatus 鈥� until her 28th birthday.
On a whim, she emailed 91原创 Players to join an audition, and she was cast in her first production shortly after.
Now at 35, this is her fourth production with 91原创 Little Theatre.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a great script. I love how George F. Walker managed to write a play that has some truly funny moments, while tackling such a serious underlying topic,鈥� she shared with The 91原创 Advance Times.
The play by Walker is about parents, Denise and R.J., who are hunkered down in a motel room awaiting a visit from Helen, a social worker, who ends up taking baby Christine from the couple.
The audience will join Denise on her journey to get her baby back through some questionable methods.
Being a mother of two kids, one of which is similar in age to Christine, and working full time, Brams connects with Denise鈥檚 love for her child and would do anything to be with her children.
鈥淵ou will likely laugh, and you might even cry, but you will most certainly be entertained,鈥� she said.
Brams favourite part of this production, thus far, has been working with the cast.
鈥淚鈥檝e never worked with any of my cast mates on a previous show, so it鈥檚 been a pleasure to get to know everybody. It鈥檚 been such a pleasure to work with the talented cast.鈥�
After two shows back to back, Brams said she鈥檚 taking a break after 鈥楶roblem Child.鈥�
鈥淚t鈥檚 hard to spend so many nights away from my kids for rehearsals and shows, but I am fortunate enough to have an incredibly supportive husband.鈥�
鈥楶roblem Child鈥� will be showing Thursdays to Sundays starting April 20 and running through May 6 at 8 p.m.
