My Name is Rachel Corrie

Craig and Cindy Visit Montreal

The Opening Weekend has been a real whirlwind. In addition to the simple fact of opening the show - which seems simple, but never is - this weekend was also one of special guests. In addition to my Mom and my Fella’, Craig and Cindy Corrie were also in Montreal.

The Corries watched both matinees on Saturday and Sunday. When they came backstage, it was as if I had been waiting to meet them forever. In fact, I think I said something to that effect!

Performing the show with these two brave, intelligent and kind people felt like a real honour. Their generous spirit immediately set me at ease. “Enjoy the show,” I said, as they were going back into the lobby, leaving me to prepare for the show. “Oh we will, don’t worry, we will.”

And I think they did.

Here are some pictures from the social events that accompanied their visit, as well as the panel on Sunday.

Dinner on Saturday. I’m not sure who all was there.
