About
Created by Echo & Ember Collective | Origin: Ottawa, Ontario
After fleeing a controlling relationship and a lifetime of family pressure, Maddie begins rebuilding her life from the ground up. Through music, memory, and moments of quiet courage, she learns to break old patterns and choose herself for the first time. A musical about healing, identity, and finding your own light.
