Hockey Mom, Hockey Dad
“Hockey play shoots – scores! This poignant, involving play takes a simple love story between ordinary people and transforms it into something quite wonderful.” – Edmonton Sun
This Canadian romantic comedy is about two lonely single parents who meet and fall in love while watching their kids play a season of minor hockey. Hockey Mom, Hockey Dad was first produced in 1999 by Two Planks and a Passion Theatre Company on tour throughout Nova Scotia. The Toronto premiere was produced by Factory Theatre in 2003.
“You’re mistaken. I’m not holdin’ your hand. I’m holdin’ my mitt. Your hand just happens to be in it.”
Bio:
Cross vivid, folk-inspired melodies with two well-travelled jesters and you’ll find Jâca (ZHĀ-ka), a guitar and clarinet duo with exuberant energy, charm and wit. Clarinetist Wesley Ferreira and guitarist Jaxon Williams define their style as world music fused with personality, and are unafraid to experiment with that which captures their fancy – fresh takes on classics as well as composition from emerging artists. They invite you to wander with them through a program ranging from the flirtatious tangos of Piazzolla to a striking Romanian-influenced new work by Canadian composer Candace Bouchard.
Highly skilled musicians and educators, both Wesley and Jaxon hold doctorates in music. Wesley is a gifted expressionist whose engaging personality connects audiences with his beloved works. He performs worldwide as soloist, orchestral and chamber musician. International award-winning guitarist Jaxon is a former Fulbright scholar and master of the Spanish guitar repertoire.
From the moment the duo step foot on the stage to the final round of applause, audiences members will find themselves engaged, entertained and enthralled. An evening with Jâca is an encounter with virtuosic performance, cheeky banter, and rhythms that coax you to play along.
