CAFE DAUGHTER

Performed by Tiffany Ayalik Written by Kenneth T. Williams Directed by Lisa C. Ravensbergen Workshop West Playwrights Theatre, Edmonton

Nine-year-old Yvette Wong helps out in her parents’ café. She’s incredibly smart but is put in the slow learners’ class because of her skin colour. Her mother has charged her with a secret – to never tell anyone she’s part Cree. Based on the true story of Senator Lillian Eva Quan Dyck, Café Daughter is the powerful, funny and touching tale of one woman’s journey to reclaim her heritage.
