Well Born

Playwright Celeste Percy-Beauregard had reached out to me last fall. She was working on a new project and needed some promotional photos for her upcoming play, Well Born.

“We need to submerge the actress in a pool of water with a plastic baby” was the general concept of the shoot I was given by Celeste.

After looking into various options we settled on a rooftop pool in downtown Toronto…an OUTDOOR rooftop pool. This was in October. Bless that actress Sophia Fabiilli for not even hesitating one second and jumping in to that pool. Brrrrrr.

Well Born tells the story of a young couple expecting their first born child and the roller coaster of emotions which can sometimes consume an expectant mother and father. It deals with adoption, abandonment, dreams, love, death, and everything in between. One moment you’re crying from laughing so hard at a grown woman (amazingly) playing a young baby who can’t even walk, to crying with tears of sadness over a mother daughter relationship and what could have been.

The play ran for just over a week in late February at Artscape Youngplace to rave reviews. I’m really looking forward to Beauregard’s next project.

Have a look at the promo shots, some stage shots and a full equipment list below. You can also visit Well Born’s Facebook page here. A list of the crew can be seen below:
