Some are set in history to give meaning to present-day events. Coal Valley: the Making of a Miner was commissioned and produced in Drumheller in 2005 and is included in The Alberta Advantage, published by Playwrights Canada Press. The Seed Savers received its premiere at Workshop West Theatre in 2009 and was produced at Station Arts Centre in Rosthern, Saskatchewan, in 2010.
