Let the Light of Day Through: A New Musical

Let the Light of Day Through: A New Musical

Lullaby performed by Matt Graham

Rob and Chris, a couple in their thirties, have what looks like the perfect childless marriage—full of passion, excitement, and fun. But six years ago, they were Bobby and Tina: high school sweethearts, each other’s first date, first kiss, and first love. In their Grade 12 year, Tina got pregnant, and their lives changed forever. Funny and touching, this new two-person musical explores the struggles, battles, love, loss, and laughter that long-term relationships are built upon.

This is a musical adaptation of my play, Let the Light of Day Through, that I’ve been developing with composer Matt Graham.
