We sat down with Chiamaka Glory about The New Canadian Curling Club and chatted about why she was inclined to be a part of this production, what she loves about the character she’s playing, and what type of person would enjoy this show.
Lighthouse Festival (LF): Why did you want to be involved in this production?
Chiamaka Glory (CG): Although this is my first time on stage at Lighthouse Theatre, this is my third time playing Charmaine. I love continuously being a part of this production because I felt I had some unfinished business in uncovering Charmaine’s journey through her grief into self-actualization. And I want to get better at curling, of course!
(LF): What do you love about your character?
(CG): I love how my character Charmaine stands up and fights for what is right, for herself, and for those who may not be able to speak for themselves. She embodies the essence of leadership which is truly about service.
(LF): What type of person is going to love this show?
(CG): I think the type of person who will love this show would be someone who understands the joy, vulnerability, and awkwardness of making new friends and building community. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, this show is for you!
