OF MICE AND MEN
By John Steinbeck
Directed by Dennis Garnhum
Toronto, ON… George and his simple-minded friend Lennie are outsiders trying to make a living in a difficult world that does not welcome abnormality.
Of Mice and Men is a gripping classic tale of two lost souls struggling to find their place until "the best laid schemes of mice and men" go horribly awry.
Directed by Dennis Garnhum (CanStage's Vinci), the cast includes Justin Michael Carriere as Whit, Benjamin Clost as Curly , Sterling Jarvis (CanStage's Crowns) as Crooks, John Kirkpatrick as Slim, Stan Lesk as Candy, David LeReaney as Boss, Lisa Norton as Curly's Wife, Shaun Smyth as George, Ashley Wright (CanStage's Omnium Gatherum) as Lennie and John Wright as Carlson.
Joining Mr. Garnhum is a creative team which includes set and costume designers John Jenkins (CanStage's Vinci) and Allan Stichbury, lighting designer Kevin Lamotte (CanStage's The Last 5 Years ), stage manager Kathryn Davies (CanStage's Vinci) and assistant stage manager Rhonda Kambeitz .
