Amy co-wrote the play that follows Shiloh, a young wheelchair-user, as they navigate their first day as a guide for “Funcouver Bus tours”. Working alongside longtime employee and relentless dad-joker, Hugh, Shiloh struggles to stick to the “funcouver” script when so much of “Canada’s most wheelchair-accessible city” is still so incredibly inaccessible.
People and politics collide until a new passenger, Tess, played by Amy Amantea, comes aboard and offers unexpected common ground. The tour must go on! Because there’s someone special waiting for Tess at the end. At least she hopes there is.
