The Bench Theatre Initiative, a Toronto based company has recently become an Imago project and is seeking to do innovative theatre that informs and challenges. Wonderful is a new play by Shannon Blake, produced by The Bench Theatre Initiative and Sanctuary. Wonderful is the story of three street-involved women who escape to a rooming house rooftop to deliver a baby away from the eyes of authorities and institutions. Throughout this experience, they reflect on friendship, violence, substance abuse, child loss, relationships and poverty, and move towards deciding what they will do when the baby actually comes. Wonderful is based on the stories of the street community and performed by a combination of professional, volunteer and street-involved actors.
