Laureen has been privileged to be onstage with First Impressions Theatre in many of their productions, including The Last of the Red Hot Lovers, Steel Magnolias and Sinners. She is tickled pink to be involved in The Memory of Water — a play which is close to her heart because it is a story told with depth, honesty, humour, tears, heart and soul. Families are complex structures but our relationships with those closest to us enrich our lives and allow us to stretch, grow and mature in ways not always comfortable, but always rewarding. There is nothing more meaningful than a belly laugh or a good cry shared with those we hold closest to our hearts. Laureen sends heartfelt thanks for a lifetime of unconditional love and support, to her beautiful children, loving parents, sweet sister and brother and her dear friends. “All of you make me a better human being.”

He has been performing with The Historical Performance Ensemble in Voices of the Fraser and The Fraser River Revue for the past three seasons and has worked on numerous television and film productions over the years. The Memory of Water is a very meaningful story and wonderfully written stage play and, “I am very fortunate to find myself in the company of such talented individuals in this production.”
