Press
“Originally submitted to WWPT’s Reading Script Reading Service in 2022, this play captured my attention right from the get-go. It is smart, sophisticated and doesn’t default to easy answers. Wade is an exhilarating writer who is sure to become a mainstay in the years to come. Wade’s work has won the Alberta Playwriting Competition, the National One-Act Playwriting Competition, and the Tennessee Williams’ New Orleans Literary Festival’s One-Act Play Contest. Wade received a Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artists Award in 2024 and has a musical in development at The Citadel Theatre. Workshop West workshopped and read this play at Springboards 2023.” -Heather inglis, artistic director, workshop west playwrights theatre
“stands out for its continuously clever, sophisticated dialogue”, “a smart, contemporary drama, with many comedic moments” -Austin film fest reader comments
