From award-winning Toronto theatre company The Night Kitchen comes a touching, hilarious show about love, listening, and growing up in 1970’s Montreal.
In 1974, 11 year-old Chris Earle’s fiercely unconventional mother, Donnie, ditched the family TV. From that moment on, the radio was always tuned to CBC. In his funny and touching new solo show, acclaimed writer-actor and Second City alum Chris Earle (Radio :30, Russell Hill) shares the story of his ferociously loving mom and the quintessentially Canadian soundtrack to their sometimes turbulent relationship.
