University of Waterloo English Alumna’s Play Showcased in Kitchener’s Registry Theatre

Dona Massel’s play, “On the Inside,” follows the story of a boy, his teacher, and the first hanging in what was then the city of Berlin. The action takes place in the Governor’s House on Queen Street.  When a young inmate is sentenced to hang, Olive, the Governor’s wife, reaches out to him and both their lives are changed.

Dona, a 1991 English graduate from the University of Waterloo, is a regionally renowned playwright and poet. “On the Inside” begins March 14 at the Registry Theatre in Kitchener. The play is being put on by The Lost and Found Theatre.

The Lost and Found Theatre works to promote the work of local playwrights. They’re recently begun a program geared towards students in grades 11 and 12, called the Youth Ensemble Theatre. The goal of this youth group is two give younger students the access to the Lost and Found Theatres resources, as well as teach them about all the behind-the-scenes aspects of stage productions.

The Registry Theatre is located at 122 Frederick St, Kitchener, ON.
