PRESS RELEASE - JOHNNY CANUCK
Johnny Canuck by Jovanka Bach , stars John DeYoung as a wandering troubadour who returns home from a nightclub engagement to find that his wife Beth, has run off with another man named Bert. In Beth’s farewell letter to Johnny, she asks him not to follow her, but Johnny is determined to win his wife back, so he leaves his dear daughter Lilly Sue with their Aunt Marie and begins a trek across Canada, in search of his wife.
In this musical odyssey, the tale is told through song and story by Johnny Canuck. It’s a one-man-show, with a series of backdrop projections showing all the clubs and locations that Johnny travels to in search of Beth. Many of the musical compositions are original pieces by John DeYoung, while others are timeless folksongs that reflect various cultures and eras.
As Johnny follows Beth’s trail, he learns that she is being corrupted by Bert, leading her into a life of drug abuse. Little by little Johnny’s rage escalates into thoughts of violence. He procures a gun and plots Bert’s demise and has to face himself in the process.
