Adapted from Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology by Mike Ross and Albert Schultz, Composed by Mike Ross, Directed by Albert Schultz and Designed by Ken Mackenzie.
"Is your soul alive? Then let it feed!" An immersive, life affirming, graveyard musical.

ALLIGATOR PIE
Created and Performed by Ins Choi, Raquel Duffy, Ken Mackenzie, Gregory Prest, and Mike Ross. Poems by Dennis Lee.
Generations of Canadian children have grown up to the poems of Dennis Lee, "Canada's Father Goose"(also known for his lyrics to Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock). Five of those children, now grown-up creators, have made an absolutely delightful award-winning musical that celebrates the written word and the very notion of "play".

CAGE
Created and Performed by Diego Matamoros, Lorenzo Savoini, and Richard Feren.
A stage, even the one within our mind, is a cage....that defines, limits, and reveals. Inspired by apes, Zen Buddhism, and the ideas of avant-garde composer John Cage, this experimental meditation on time, space, memory, and the human animal is performed by Soulpepper Founding Member Diego Matamoros and his co-creators and designers.
