Inspired by the true story of Canada's own Preston Rivulettes, Glory is a hockey play that swings! In 1933, four friends set out to prove to Canada that hockey isn't just a sport for men. But with the Great Depression weighing heavily on the nation and political tensions rising in Europe, can they overcome the odds, and people's expectations, to forge their own path to glory?

Told through music and dance inspired by the jazz age, Glory is a thrilling hockey story that proves a woman's place is on home ice.

REVIEWS:

"She shoots, she scores. Glory is pretty glorious!"

 Vancouver Sun

"Glory successfully celebrates a remarkable group of Canadians and their achievement in a women’s sport still struggling for respect and equality today. The skating is a delightful dance, highly physical with legs askew, movements synchronized to Steve Charles’ jazzy, thirties-ish score."

 Vancouver Sun

"Theatrical storytelling at its best… this script has both velocity and depth… certainly one of my favorites."

 WWNY, Watertown, N.Y.

"Glory is an uplifting story about the immense role hockey plays in our everyday lives… 2½ hours of bittersweet, entertaining and uplifting sports drama. When the drama turns to the on-ice variety, Glory joyously transforms into one-part Bobby Orr, one-part Bobby Fosse."

 Globe and Mail

"Power, acting as both playwright and choreographer, has created what one enthusiastic fan I spoke with at intermission called ‘hockeyography.’ Power has created dance steps that suggest skating, which the actors perform to jazz tunes from the 20s and 30s, given a swing beat from Steve Charles. It’s a theatrical gimmick that never loses steam because Power uses different tunes and different steps for each new practice or game the four women play."

 National Post

"In a league of its own… While Glory comes with a message and is particularly fitting in today’s climate of awareness and empowerment, it is, above everything else, an engaging and uplifting way to spend an evening. Glory is a winner!"

 Kinston Whig Standard

"There are so many great stories about male athletes. It’s about time we had a play like this to bring increased visibility to women’s sport, to inspire female athletes and encourage all of us to actively support diversity on and off the ice. Glory also champions women in theatre, and I hope this play will encourage more female characters, playwrights, and creatives, marking a new era in women’s stories for the stage."
