LEARNING TO LIVE WITH PERSONAL GROWTH (May 9-25, 1991)

Learning To Live With Personal Growth
by Arthur Milner

A delicious black comedy about life, love and real estate

In spite of a reasonably sucessful career in social work and an apparently happy marriage to a sharp young lawyer, Jeff feels... Stuck. Paralyzed. Ineffectual. So he starts making a few changes, and soon finds himself faced with tough choices between doing what's safe and doing what he thinks is right.

A small masterpiece, brilliantly conceived. It will make you think and it will make you laugh. Don't miss it!"
CBC Ottawa

Political theatre at its best... subversive without being obtrusive, challenging without being condescending."
