Theatre Wakefield in partnership with Centre Wakefield La Pêche (CWLP) and Municipalité de La Pêche is delighted to present Kim Kilpatrick in her solo performance of Flying in the Dark by the Gatineau River. Join us for laughter, intrigue, and wonder as Kim shares her story about growing up as a blind child in a sighted world. Ginger, her guide dog, will also be present.

Suitable for ages 8 to 98!
Be prepared to be amused, surprised, and captivated!

Kim is an accomplished storyteller who has entertained audiences throughout Canada. She is known for her autobiographical stories about living as a capable person who is blind. What happens when young Kim tries to hatch a dragon from chocolate eggs? When Kim and her brother find a device that is supposed to allow them to walk on water? When she drives the family motorboat? Learns braille? Trains with a guide dog?

Although this is a story about a person with a disability (being blind), this is also a story of Kim’s amazing ability to navigate the world with a sense of trust, freedom, and delight. Audience members will leave with a deeper understanding of the challenges, skills and adventures of a person who is blind.

Kim has over twenty years’ experience as a storyteller. She has performed regularly on the NAC Fourth Stage, at the Ottawa Arts Court, and at storytelling festivals in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Victoria, Calgary, Winnipeg, and Saint Mary’s. Kim is a MASC artist in schools and for seniors. She continues to love to perform in venues of all types and sizes for audiences of all ages and abilities.
