Theatre Production - The Missionary Position
After a devastating tsunami engulfs a small Central American country, a group of young Canadian missionaries congregate to offer their help. Rescuing children they believe to be orphans, the missionaries are incarcerated on charges of child trafficking, forcing them to confront who they are and what they believe in. Based on actual events which occurred after the Haitian earthquake of 2010, this play explores the limits of belief, the audacity of faith and questions the role of foreign aid in the developing world. How do we help, why do we help and who are we really helping? Are good intentions good enough?
