Theatre

Donnie and Me and the CBC

Wednesday, April 15 • 7:30 PM
Market Hall

From Toronto’s award-winning Night Kitchen comes a warm, funny, deeply Canadian story about love, rebellion, and the voices that shape us. Set in 1970s Montreal, the show tunes into the tender static between a fiercely unconventional mother and her son, finding humour and heartbreak in equal measure.

In 1974, when Chris Earle was 11, his mother Donnie made a household decision that felt downright revolutionary: out went the family television, and on went CBC Radio—pretty much for good. In this funny, touching solo show, the acclaimed writer-performer and Second City alum (Radio :30, Russell Hill) revisits that turbulent, loving relationship through the sounds, stories, and unmistakably Canadian broadcasts that filled the room and helped shape a life.
