A Synopsis of the Journey of Growing up while Battling Leukemia

“Jenny”, an unprecedented production brought to you by Apartment 11 Productions, ingeniously navigates the artful combination of the joys of growing up, the throes of adolescence, and the harsh realities of life, into one gripping narrative.

Our eponymous hero, Jenny Garcia, is on the brink of significant personal growth as she approaches the end of middle school. There’s excitement in her world, filled with the promise of high school, the nurturing of blossoming friendships, and the exhilaration of leading a successful dance crew. Jenny’s life, it would seem, is blossoming beautifully…until everything comes to a sudden, screeching halt.

Jenny receives a heart-stopping diagnosis: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia – a reality that propels her into an unexpected journey, riddled with treatments, long medical procedures, and immunotherapy. Yet, in the gloom of this new path, Jenny has to suss out the space for all the elements of her young existence: friendship, fun, and the solace of dance.

Jonathan Finkelstein and Chantal Lafleur dynamically produce this strikingly real narrative, while Catherine Hernandez adeptly guides the story as the writer. Combined, they bring you an unforgettable piece that narrates the quest to find the all too elusive “normal life” within the confines of challenging circumstances.

“Jenny” dares to ask where the room for real life is in the face of adversity. This story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, evident in how it weaves the trials and tribulations of life with humour, grace, and unwavering hope.
