Defining Moments is adapted
from the short story found in Anne Fleming’s Governor General
award nominated collection entitled Pool Hopping. Where
memories collide with the present day retelling, it tells
the poignant coming of age story of young woman discovering
her sexuality in the mid 1970’s. Adapted with
expressionistic staging elements, it featured the season work
of Vancouver actor and teacher Ruth McIntosh.

up in Toronto, where she spent rainy days riding the subway
and nights reading past bedtime. She studied at the University

and at the University of British Columbia where she received
her MFA. Her fiction has been published in Vital Signs: An
Anthology of New Canadian Writers (Oberon Press, 1997 and
in numerous literary magazines including The New Quarterly,
Prism International and Prarrie Fire. Anne Fleming lives in
Vancouver where she is a contributor to the Georgia Straight
