Danny’s life is all about embracing change. He and his mom are constantly on the move, struggling to evade homelessness and overcome poverty. In two years, they have lived in more places than most kids lose teeth. But despite the adversity he faces, Danny takes on each new challenge creatively and with an energetic spirit, inspiring all he meets with his positivity, generosity, and humor.

A powerful piece of theatre that speaks to all of us. TORONTO SUN

The idea came to me when I was driving my car, listening to my favorite radio station which is CBC. The news was on and I heard something that shocked me. I knew that there were a lot of homeless people in Toronto, but what I heard on the radio was that 25% of the homeless people in Toronto are children under the age of twelve - kids your age. I knew we had a problem with homelessness in our city. I had no idea it affected so many kids. Right then and there, I knew I needed to do something about this as a parent of two children, as a citizen of Toronto and especially as a theatre artist. I knew I had to write a play about it. That knowing sustained me the next four years of research and writing to create this play.
