Winnipeg’s Praire Theatre Exchange (PTE) presents The Waltz, written by Filipino-Canadian Marie Beath Badian and directed by Nina Lee Aquino.
The romantic play is a dazzling tale of love, fate, and family starring Anthony Perpuse as Romeo Alvarez or RJ and Ericka Leobrera as Beatrice or Bea Klassen.
August 1993 – two 2nd generation Filipino Canadian teenagers unexpectedly meet at a rustic cabin in Northeast Saskatchewan, not realizing that they share a family history.
Their mothers both came from the Philippines in 1967 to work at the same hospital in small-town Saskatchewan. Beatrice’s mother stayed and married the local hockey hero.
Romeo’s family is in Ontario and he’s heading to BC for university. Together they share one magical evening with a boom box under the magnificent Saskatchewan sky.
The Waltz is funny and touching continuation of the story that begun in the hit play Prairie Nurse that was shown in PTE in 2018.
Watch The Waltz at the Prairie Theatre Exchange between November 14 to 29, 2023
