Here is Gertie!, the the most 'outrageous' character I have written and performed, other than the pivotal moment in <a href="http://fatsalmon.ca/theplay/caitlin.htm" data-cke-saved-href= "http://fatsalmon.ca/theplay/caitlin.htm">Six Palm Trees</a>, when Annie Shea accuses her father in front of the entire family. Gertie is outrageous because she speaks the unspeakable. And she's good with it. Gertie! is not for everyone. Listen at your own risk. You may choose to be offended. You may laugh. It's not always easy to have your thinking challenged by someone else's life experience.

Outrageous Gertie

Storyteller Caitlin Hicks, (playwright, performer, author, actor) describes the stories in these podcasts that explore the grief of life as well as the meaning, the humour, the redemption.

The series features a variety of first-person character stories in a number of episodes from her international theatrical touring shows: Mother Love, Next of Kin, The Trouble of Christmas, The Life We Lived.

Hicks will also share chapters from her novel," A Theory of Expanded Love". But here, she shares a short story from The Trouble of Christmas episodes, called Read Island Santa. 

The introduction to the series itself begins this podcast, so please listen, even if it's summer outside!

The voices of Sunshine Coast residents and old timers, Cynthia Culbard Jones and Diana Culbard Peters are combined in this short about their first Christmas in the 30s at Read Island – so far away that Santa would never find them. And yet, a man named Mr. Green visits their school house on Christmas Eve and surprises everyone, ‘even the old bachelors'. It’s a charming story about the blissfully gullible time of being children.
