The play in a nutshell:
Canada Day cakes disappear; an archaeologist uncovers a hidden treasure; a nun considers renouncing her vows; a bride and her mom fight a custody battle for the wedding cake. A gentle comedy about life in a small Ontario town on July 1.

SISTER VIVIEN LEIGH CLEARY: Mid30s, a kind, happy, good humoured, and rather sensible nun.
RUBY ABEL: late 30s – 40s, a crafty and devious Cub Scout leader.
TIFFANY SECORD: Early 20s. A lovely but self-absorbed bride-to-be.
MARTHA BRITCH: Mid 30s, best friend of Sister Vivien, always in a rush.
AUGUSTA CONNORS SECORD: 40s – 50s, Tiffany’s mother, regal yet motherly.
TAYLOR ABBOTT: (male) Late 30s, a forgetful, yet passionate, archaeologist.
