PND is thrilled to be helping the Market Hall present Red Sky Performance's /Raven Stole The Sun this week Dec 3 to 7. It is playing to 8
sold-out school shows and there will be one evening show for the public. While Red Sky is a Toronto-based company this production has some local connections: Patti Shaughnessy is one of the performers, Drew Hayden Taylor wrote the script, and stage manager is Esther Vincent. Come out Wednesday night - there is a family rate of 4 for $30. If you can't make it out to this show, there is another Indigenous family oriented show coming to Nozhem at Trent U the following week, see below. Play by Drew Hayden Taylor, based on a traditional Tlingit story as recounted by Sháa Tláa Maria Williams Directed by Sandra Laronde Music by Donald Quan Performed by Jonathan Fisher, Mike Bernier, and Patti Shaughnessy. Red Sky Performance takes a traditional story to new heights through a compelling theatre dance piece for family audiences. Raven is a fabulous and magical creature of impulse and curiosity. In order to satisfy his overwhelming sense of curiosity, Raven hatches a brilliant scheme for stealing the stars, the moon and the sun and ends up bringing light to the people of the world. "Raven soars, delights...in a fast-paced show, we go through a whole series of emotions and narrative twists and come out the other end with a nice complete experience intact". ~ Toronto Star
