Powers
and
Gloria
by Keith
Roulston
A WORLD PREMIERE
Keith is an enthusiastic champion of
local stories - on stage and through the
Rural Voice. His view of small town
characters, living in the new global
economy, are both poignant and funny.
Powers and Gloria is a heartwarming
story of an old business tycoon and the
young woman who is nursing him back
to health. Powers and Gloria are un-
likely allies and worthy adversaries in
this richly comic tale of friendship and
healing.

Look at this little guy ... he
grew up to write a play
about his favourite Stratford
garden shop. Love at first
sight sideswipes Joe the loans

the dizzy manager of Anything
