Every old town in Ontario has one on its main drag. The hotel. A historic building whose charm has been reincarnated--or not. I spent part of my childhood in one of those. Follow the highway out of the small town, and before long you'll pass a roadside motel. I spent my adolescence in one of those. Allistonian Brockvillian Dionysian, is a memoir about growing up in a small town Ontario hotel and motel.
ABD is written & performed by Mark Cassidy, directed by Hume Baugh
