About this Event

🎭 Join Us for Our Lady of Broken Pieces - A New Musical (Table Read)!


Get ready to experience an event where creativity comes to life! Dive into the story and characters of the brand-new original, set in Vancouver musical "Our Lady of Broken Pieces" during this first-ever table read.
Join us for an intimate and lively evening as we gather around the table to read through this new work for the very first time. This is a chance to see a musical in the moment of its creation—where characters come to life through voice, rhythm, and discovery, and where the creative team begins shaping the next stage of development.

The event is free, but registration is required so we know how many seats to set.

We hope you’ll join us for this special first reading and be part of something fresh and inspiring!


What is Our Lady of Broken Pieces About?

Our Lady of Broken Pieces is a contemporary musical about Bernadette, a Vancouver woman who transforms grief into hope when a mysterious vision inspires her to build an elaborate shrine in her condo's front garden.

What begins as a simple memorial to her late mother becomes a neighborhood battleground when her controlling ex-husband threatens eviction, setting off an epic struggle that brings together an unlikely alliance: a wounded veteran seeking healing, Bernie's artistic daughter fighting for her dreams, and a lovestruck property manager rediscovering his roots.

Blending magical realism, romance and sharp social commentary, this uplifting story celebrates the power of art, community, and standing up to bullies.

Comparisons? Hmm.. think Six, The Musical meets Next to Normal meets Mary Poppins. :)

A modern and Canadian-themed retelling of the myriad of Virgin Mary apparition stories, this show has themes of family dynamics, immigrant identity, PTSD recovery, and reclaiming feminine power.
