"YOU GOT TO TAKE A LIKKLE BIT OF SUFFERIN' TO GET THAT HOPE."

Richard Whyte is determined to celebrate Jamaican Independence Day in style. The rice is soaking, the ginger beer is cooling and today his lottery ticket is finally going to hit it big! But Richard's squabbling family have other ideas, and over the course of a single sweltering day in Toronto's Little Jamaica, a lifetime of buried secrets and dreams will finally come to light. Making its world première at the Studio Theatre, Get That Hope is a bittersweet drama of personal and cultural diasporas that brims with laughter and tears.

Production Sponsors: Bryan Blenkin & Alan Rowe and Sylvia D. Chrominska.
