When Laura moved from Toronto to Syracuse, New York, she wasn’t expecting to be residing in Trump’s America.
Gaining her first job as a relay operator for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing causes her to question whether she can discover the hidden humanity of the American people. Destiny, USA weaves together three stories: Laura’s move to the US, her enlightening new job, romantically meeting her husband, and dealing with her mother’s illness in Canada while living in America. All are told through storytelling and poetry.
While this is mainly autobiographical, some details have been changed to protect the anonymity of the Deaf callers.
The performance integrates partial closed captioning and features performances from three Canadian Deaf actors: Tamyka Bullen, Natasha Bacchus, and Sage Lovell through ASL video projection. The March 13 performance (at 8 pm) will be ASL interpreted by Katt Campbell.

THE UBYSSEY, VANCOUVER
Because it’s humble and autobiographical, some people might ignore Destiny, USA, but that would be a huge mistake: it’s one of the most skillful and moving shows I’ve ever seen…Ultimately, it’s the compassion of Destiny, USA that makes it so shattering. We’re all mortal. In times like these, small gestures of kindness redefine the world.
COLIN THOMAS, VANCOUVER
4.5 Stars – If handled perceptively and with a fresh eye, any subject can be fascinating. Victoria native Laura Anne Harris proves this with Destiny, USA….her one-woman show is funny, poignant, cleverly crafted and well-acted.
