LOST: 
A MEMOIR
by Cathy Ostlere and Dennis Garnhum
directed by Christopher Moore and 
performed by Karine Dion

An unforgettably moving one-woman show, based on an inspiring true story

No matter where in the world David is - Australia or China or England - he always calls home on his birthday. But in September of 1995, David's sister Cathy and the rest of his family wait in vain for a birthday call that never comes.
And so Cathy leaves her home in Calgary to search for David and his girlfriend Sarah, last seen on their boat the Mugwump, en route from Ireland to Madeira. As she tries to unravel the mystery of what happened to her brother, Cathy discovers some surprising things about her own life's journey - and about what it means to truly live your dreams.
