The Writers’ Guild of Alberta has named the play Alex and Michael and Hannah, written by screenwriter Heather Morrow, as a finalist for the Gwen Pharis Ringwood Award for Drama!
The winners of all the 2023 Alberta Literary Awards will be announced on June 3rd.
Signed copies of the play are available on our webstore!
Auditions for Nowhere Normal are on! Please check our front page for details, and to submit.
The show is now up! Spoonie Theatre’s production of It Started with an Allergy can now be viewed on YouTube. Go and see this virtual one-woman show about endometriosis and watch a wrestling match with a uterus!
My one-woman play It Started with an Allergy will stream in an online, multi-media production, starting on January 15, 2022!
Produced by Spoonie Theatre, starring Annette Devitt, and directed by Anna Ashkenazie Bush, It Started with an Allergy is my painfully funny solo show about the 8+ years it took before I was diagnosed with endometriosis. Tune in to Spoonie Theatre’s YouTube channel to see what they’re all about.
In the meantime, have a look at the promo videos below, and see what the first production looked like under PHOTOS.

Annette shares why you should watch It Started with an Allergy
THANK YOU to everyone who attended the reading of Alex and Michael and Hannah last night. A play isn’t a play without an audience, it’s truly impossible to know if a play works until you can hear the reaction to it, so you will be a huge help in improving the script, and getting it onstage!
Thank you to Script Salon, Holy Trinity, Playwrights Guild of Canada, and Alberta Playwrights Network for putting on the reading.
AND to the amazing director and cast for making the reading happen…ESPECIALLY Jake Tkaczyk for stepping in 30 minutes before rehearsal began yesterday!
Thank you to all the actors who’ve signed up! We’ll see you (online) April 6!
We’ll be unveiling the cast of Alex and Michael and Hannah here, on April 15, 2020.
