PLAYING THIS SEASON

 

 

Fighting Fire With Snow - by Sharon King-Campbell

 

Follow the lives of three Fogo Islanders as they navigate the changing landscape of an outport on the brink of resettlement. Taking place between 1967 and 1971, the play chronicles the development of the co-op, the fight for a central high school, and the coming together of their communities as they work to maintain their way of life on Fogo Island. An audience favourite since 2008!

 

WORLD PREMIERE!

Speaking of Which - by Krista Hann

 

Peter and Lucy are having a baby and need a little help to prepare. But when they accidentally invite both in-laws over for supper, they soon learn they have made a big mistake. Join us for a hilarious and unpredictable evening as this family takes on Fogo Island issues from all sides. Can they find common ground or will this only be settled in the delivery room?

 

WORLD PREMIERE!

Adrift - written and performed by Greg White

 

On the 7th of April, 1917, four young men from Joe Batt's Arm went out to the ice in search of seals ... they never returned. Months later, a gaff was found with a haunting message carved into it. Adrift is a one-man show which tells this tragic tale of loss through the eyes of Joseph Jacobs, the owner of that gaff.

 

Stories and Songs

 

A variety show featuring local music and folklore compiled by the cast and crew. By far the smash hit of the 2009 festival, Stories and Songs is back this year with a new program to keep your toes tapping, your hand clapping, and your sides aching!
