Bordertown Café

By Kelly Rebar

Young Jimmy in Bordertown Café faces the archetypal Canadian dilemma: embrace the powerfully encoded Western hero of American popular myth embodied by his father-the cowboy as trucker, his mythic status enhanced by his never appearing on stage; or engage the task of building a different identity, embodied by his mother and her family “on the Canadian side of nowhere.”

Cast of 2 women and 2 men.
