Can these traditional parents and far-out children bridge the generational divide?
Enjoy the hilarious situational comedy of this Norm Foster gem.
Martin Kaspers became a full time artist in 2000 using photography as his primary medium.
He moved to the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island in 2006 and has his studio there. At his studio he does all his own printing and framing. He also prints for many other artists and helps photographers with adjusting their images.
Presently, he sells his art in galleries across western Canada. Much of his subject matter is the beautiful west coast.
Get off the fence and into your seats. Hilarity is about to ensue in Hilda’s Yard.

In his gifted comedic style, Norm Foster composed a meaningful story of two not-so-empty nesters.
It’s 1956, and Sam and Hilda have finally begun to enjoy a peaceful life. But their blissful nights in front of the television (and a little hanky-panky) are cut short when their unemployed son and their newly single daughter return for an uninvited (and lengthy) stay.
“That fabulous ’50s pluxked string music at the start of Hilda’s Yard is just perfect. And so is pretty much everything that follows it.” – Cam Fuller, The Star Phoenix
