Summer of My Amazing Luck
by Chris Craddock - based on the novel by Miriam Toews

Very unlucky things have happened to Lucy. She lost her mom and to fill the void she got pregnant. Now she's in the Have-A-Life (better known as Half-a-Life) welfare housing for single mothers - but she thinks her luck's about to turn. Leaving their rat-fink neighbours behind, Lucy and her friend Lish load the kids into a beat-up van for a hair- brained, hilarious and heartwarming journey. Based on the novel by Miriam Toews (Governor General's Award Winning Author of A Complicated Kindness), 'Luck' is a play about love, generosity and wishful thinking - it's also a cutting and comical look at 'having a life' below the poverty line.

2005 Sterling Award for "Outstanding New Play"

Playwright Chris Craddock is the recipient of three Sterling Awards and, having grown up with a single mom, has a real soft spot for the unlikely heroines in his new hit play. Director Stephane Kirkland takes the driver's seat for the hussies with actors Renée Iaci, Daune Campbell and Tom Jones along for the ride.
