An innovative play based on dementia research at the University of Waterloo will open at the SpringWorks Theatre Festival in Stratford on Friday.

Cracked: New Light on Dementia follows one woman’s journey from diagnosis to long-term care. The production casts a critical light on society’s view of dementia as an unmitigated tragedy.

The project is being led and produced by Professor Sherry Dupuis of the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences at Waterloo and the Partnerships in Dementia Care Alliance. Professor Dupuis is the former director of the Murray Alzheimer Research and Education Program (MAREP). She and other members of the team will be available to speak with media following the performances.
