‘Sweetheart’ is a one woman musical that explores the professional life of a remarkable Canadian artist and businesswoman, Mary Pickford. Born in 1892 as Gladys Smith into poverty in Toronto, Ontario, she first became a stage actress, becoming an important Broadway performer and eventually a star in the nascent film industry winning an Oscar in 1929. Her entrepreneurial acumen was revealed when at 27, she created United Artists Studios with Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and D.W. Griffith thus breaking the control of the major studios.

This original musical was written by Dean Burry, with colleagues Greg Wanless directing, Melissa Morris starring and Clare Marion on piano. This production is staged in Convocation Hall (within Theological Hall, Queen’s Campus).
