Carolyn's got one evening to make dinner, get married, make peace with her parents, and hide the fact she’s in labour.  What could possibly go wrong?

Having Hope at Home is a side-splitting look at a family learning to love again. On a cold winter night, in a drafty farmhouse, a baby is about to arrive. But good intentions dissolve as modern medicine meets midwifery in a torrent of family feuding. As tensions rise between three stubborn generations, so does the laughter. It takes a baby to heal the rift in this hilarious, heart-warming story of forgiveness and hope. A light comedy with serious intentions, Having Hope at Home shows us how the human heart sometimes takes the longest way home.

“Let’s cut right to the marrow.  Having Hope at Home is a big-hearted comedy that will leave you in tears – tears of compassion and recognition as well as tears of laughter.”
- Robert Reid, Waterloo Record

“For goodness sake, go see Having Hope at Home.  You’ll laugh, you’ll cry.  You’ll come out touched by the sheer joy of good theatre.”
- Gary Smith, the Hamilton Spectator
