""Waiting for the Parade" demonstrates the old theatrical law that a play that is local, detailed and specific often has the capacity to reach out beyond its immediate environment. Set in Calgary, Alberta, "Waiting for the Parade" deals with the way five women coped with the pressures of World War II. Geographically, the conflict may have been remote, but it still impinged on individual lives. "Waiting for the Parade" is an honest play that captures precisely the texture of ordinary hopes and despairs."
