Recorded over Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic lock down in 2021, Canadian actress Sheila McCarthy, Canada Media Fund President and CEO Valerie Creighton, Executive Producer W. Paterson Ferns, entrepreneur Joseph Mandel and Grand Theatre London's AD Dennis Garnhum look back on the making of the iconic screen adaptation of John Murrell's Waiting for the Parade (1984), in honour of the film's re-release, following a thirty-five-year absence from the public domain. This content offers exclusive insight into the work's creation and into the inspired collaboration between five outstanding leading ladies. Directed by Robin Phillips - former Artistic Director of Canada's Stratford Festival - Waiting for the Parade stars Martha Henry, Sheila McCarthy, Donna Goodhand, Carole Shelley and Susan Wright. Canada's most widely produced stage play, Waiting for the Parade tells the story of five Calgary women who respond very differently to civilian life during the Second World War, providing a portrait of Canadian society in the 40s through courage, humour and a little music.
