Walterdale member Shawn Pallier (Much Ado About Nothing) has written With You, which he will be presenting at the 2016 Edmonton International Fringe, about the journey he took after the loss of his mother, from trying to understand her & her mental illness to his own struggles in a maze of paths that he hoped would lead to healing.
“April 6, 2000: My mom took her own life at the Alberta Hospital, and I was going to have to learn what to do with death.”
Shawn says: I hope those who see this performance will no longer feel alone if they have had feelings like mine. To lose someone in any way, not just through suicide, but in any way whatsoever can always feel too soon. If you are grieving or have grieved, I hope I can bring peace of mind and healing to you through this piece.
