GeriActors & Friends presents, Sanctuary

A play about elder abuse, family, and finding your sanctuary.

When I was young, I learnt to fly. I flew over Edmonton.
Why did I love it? Because you’re free up there. Nothing can hurt you.
You can see all the beautiful things of the earth. And you can reach for them.
