One Step at a Time
A Father’s Journey at Watermark Theatre in October
Written, conceived, composed, and performed by Andrew Prashad, One Step at a Time: A Father’s Journey will run from October 2–5 at the Watermark Theatre in North Rustico.
Through tap dance, original songs, monologues, and multimedia projections, Prashad shares his and his wife’s journey of caring for their son with spina bifida and hydrocephalus while maintaining his career as a professional actor, singer, and dancer. One Step at a Time is about parenthood, life as an artist, letting go of expectations, and holding on fiercely to who and what you love.
Prashad is a versatile dancer as well as a musician, singer, and actor. He is one of the leading tap dance artists in Canada, teaching and choreographing around the world. On stage, he has been a featured singer and dancer on the 20th Anniversary World Tour of Riverdance, originated a role in Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding musical at Berkeley Rep Theatre, played Cogsworth in Young People’s Theatre’s Beauty and the Beast, Billy in Once: The Musical at Theatre St. John’s in Newfoundland, and Boutons in Neptune Theatre’s Cinderella, where he won a Merritt Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor.
One Step at a Time has been touring Canada since 2018, following a successful run at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto. The play has since been presented at Theatre Collingwood, Neptune Theatre, the Stratford Festival, and The Grand Theatre in London.
