The Waltz
Marie Beath Badian play at Waterfront Theatre—Oct 14 to 18
The Waltz, a tender, funny play by Marie Beath Badian, will be staged at North Rustico’s Watermark Theatre October 14–18.
The story begins with Romeo Alvarez (Anthony Perpuse) on a cross-country trek from Ontario to British Columbia for university. He makes an unplanned stop in rural Saskatchewan to visit some of his mother’s old friends. He ends up at the doorstep of a remote cabin where Beatrice Klassen (Kryslyne-Mai Ancheta) greets him with suspicion and curiosity. Over one summer evening—with a boombox, a shared history, and that breathtaking sky—they talk, tease, and move toward understanding.
The Waltz does not just tell a love story, it tells a story that belongs to a community whose voice and presence are becoming an essential part of Island life. Director Santiago Guzmán says it will strike a chord with many Islanders: “This play is about connection, belonging, and seeing yourself in the world around you,” he explains.
