What’s Happening?
To Perfection, by Meghan Gardiner, directed by Renee Iaci and proudly presented by Delta Stageworks
Wholesome and hearty. Fresh and frosty…Is it cake? Or is it To Perfection? Gloria, a former celebrity TV chef, played by the inimitable Patti Allan, is reuniting with her estranged grandchild, Alex. The temperature rises when Alex, (Cece Ludwar), comes out as non-binary and opens a ‘genderational’ divide between them. Can Gloria and Alex find the perfect mix for their family recipe? Or will it all bubble over and explode? To Perfection tackles issues of modern life without the sugar coating, showing us family conflict in a relatable and hilarious way and ensuring audiences discover all the right ingredients for the perfect food-for-thought theatre outing.
Playing at Genesis Theatre in Ladner, BC October 2-6, with a preview on October 1,To Perfection premiered at the Surrey Arts Centre to high praise from audiences and critics for its humour and awareness of the ‘genderational’ divide that families can experience when a young person comes out. Delta Stageworks company member Renee Iaci directs the play developed by shameless hussy productions.

Arts Campaign to Support 2SLGBTQ+ Youth and Gender Identity Awareness
Delta Stageworks has joined together with a number of community partners to create a Delta community-wide initiative to foster inclusivity for LGBTQ2S+ youth and amplify the themes of To Perfection.
Online Community Forum, October 9, 6:30-8:30 pm:
In partnership with Alongside You, Counsellor Fiona Scott (she/her) moderates an online educational forum, providing a safe platform for community members to ask questions and learn about LGBTQ2S+ issues and gender identity. Says Fiona, “By bringing honest, genuine care and curiosity to an open community forum, we can demonstrate to the LGBTQ2S+ community that we are listening and willing to put in the effort to become genuine allies. Mistrust and fear grow in shadow – having a community event that shines light on the topic allows all to bloom. This forum is the place to ask the questions that you don’t know how to ask a friend or a loved one, or learn how to ask those questions in a respectful and non-judgmental way.”
She is joined by youth advocates Alexa Fraser (they/them), Keitu Malatsi (she/her) and invited community guests.
The forum is supported by the Delta Community Foundation, City of Delta and Delta Pride.
