Theatre Passe Muraille is Canada’s oldest alternative theatre devoted to the development and production of new Canadian work.
HIGHWAY 63: THE FORT MAC SHOW
Produced by Theatre Passe Muraille
Originally Developed by Architect Theatre
Co-Created and Directed by Charlotte Corbeil-Coleman
Co-Created and performed by Greg Gale, Jonathan Seinen and Georgina Beaty
Co-Created by Layne Coleman
Highway 63: The Fort Mac Show examines society’s relationship with the earth, each other and the place one chooses to live. Some of this country’s most exciting theatre creators reveal life at the northern tip of Highway 63, at the front lines of the world’s largest energy project, the Athabasca Oil Sands. Using a combination of verbatim and improvisation, the voices of Fort McMurray’s locals come alive at a time of major change.
Highway 63: The Fort Mac Show has been performed in Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa and Vancouver, and in 2011 was produced at Toronto’s Theatre Passe Muraille.
“One of the most relevant, flat-out best shows to hit Edmonton’s stages this year.” – VUE Weekly
