~ If you’re a regular on our blog, you’ve probably already seen Forget-Me-Not where we get historical with a feature book about under-represented moments of Canada’s distant and near past. And if you have no idea what we’re talking about, get caught up!

Nicholas is an adorkable teenager, which made this short play a fast, thoroughly enjoyable read.
