Heartwarming Storytelling
A PTE Production
Celebrated Métis playwright Keith Barker grew up in Kenora and always saw Winnipeg as “the big city”. More importantly, he grew up surrounded by women who shaped his life and made him the man he is today. Raised by Women is Barker’s tale of the lessons he learned through the women in his life. Barker, an extraordinary storyteller, jumps between times in his life effortlessly and seamlessly, making you feel as though you have been with him on every step of the journey. It’s a funny and heartwarming love letter to the women who raised him.
"Growing up in Kenora, Winnipeg was magical. Polo Park, Bomber games, the Folk Festival, and BDI were integral. I cried when the Jets left and celebrated wildly when they returned. My life in Kenora always included ‘Tobans, which is why I’m so grateful this play begins in a city that means so much to me.”
