(The Chronicle Herald) – Abby Goodwin initially struggled to remember after her brain injury, but she recalls when a show at the Bus Stop Theatre captivated her imagination.
Roughly three years after being hit by a car, Goodwin moved to Halifax and started attending shows hosted by Hello City, a local improv group, at the Gottingen Street theatre. She’d spent hours relearning how to walk, how to talk and how to eat. Doing something for herself — whether she knew it or not — was the next step in her recovery.
“I would sit in the audience and I would watch them and they were having so much fun up there and I thought: ‘Man, I want to have fun like that,’” Goodwin told The Chronicle Herald. “It’s not singular, it’s not isolated, it’s togetherness.” CONTINUE
