CALGARY -Only Drunks and Children Tell the Truth, a play by Drew Hayden Taylor, will run from Jan. 19 to 29 at the Pumphouse Theatre in Calgary. The play is presented by Crazy Horse Theatre, the mandate of which is to run plays that will reflect the diversity and reality of Aboriginal people.

The play is based on a young girl who was taken from her biological family when she was six months old. It's about the impact of a scoop-up adoption that happened in Ontario when Aboriginal children were removed from their homes and placed in foster homes.

Dennis Morrison was found on the dance floor at Checkers in the Landmark Inn, one of a dozen-and-a-half frantic workmen trying to refurbish the Regina pub in time for the next day's grand opening. With a paint brush in hand he was up a ladder touching up grey stones on the ceiling, and readying himself for an all night job of drawing a large mural of a truck driving through mock wallpaper.

"I was asked to add a dab of orange to the middle of the stones after I had finished the job," said Morrison, who then starts to chuckle.
