  Scraping The Surface

Lyle Victor Albert presents an Art of Difference event in the Melbourne Fringe Festival 2006: Scraping The Surface All the way from Canada, Scraping the Surface is an autobiographical one-man show, written and performed as a monologue by Canadian playwright/performer Lyle Victor Albert. His character Vic shares his experiences as a teenager with cerebral palsy. With great skill and good humor, Scraping the Surface leads us into the world of a young man with cerebral palsy as he wrestles with the age old problem of "what to do with the rest of my life." Scraping the Surface was the 1996 winner of Edmonton's Sterling Award for Outstanding New Play, and has toured to the Dublin Theatre Festival International in 1997. Lyle Victor Albert is the author of Ba Ha Ha, Waves, White on White, Wheelie, Cut!, and The Prairie Church of Buster Galloway. His first play, The Prairie Church of Buster of Galloway, was the winner of the 1982 Alberta Culture Playwriting Award, and was produced by Northern Light Theatre in Edmonton the following year. He subsequently adapted the play for a CBC Television production in 1985
