DIGITAL CHALLENGES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN THEATRE: A NATIONAL CONFERENCE
“I was thoroughly engrossed – what a clever, funny, edgy piece!”
Tessa Mendel, Artistic Director
Halifax Theatre for Young People
Featuring Corina Akeson*, Leanna Brodie*, Art Kitching* and Anthony Santiago* | Stage Managed/ Assistant Directed by Marie Pike
Eight terrible stories spring from the fertile imaginations two little good-for-nothings who refuse to go to bed. Spooking each other, they make up creepy, fun-filled stories, test boundaries, and explore what’s real and what’s not. 2015 French Language Governor General’s Awards finalist.
Special thank you to dramaturge Johanna Nutter and Playwrights Atlantic Resource Centre.
