Alumnae Theatre presents Bone Cage by Catherine Banks, directed by Cassidy Sadler and produced by Meliz Posta and Trisha Harlan.

This gripping, award-winning drama runs November 13 to 24, 2024, in Alumnae’s third-floor studio.

Everything in its path it eats. In rural Nova Scotia, 22-year-old Jamie works a tree processor, clear-cutting for pulp. After each shift, he walks the forest carnage, salvaging fallen nests, injured birds, slivers of life. His half-sister mows the sod fields, confessing sins and dreams to a dead tree. His father claws at soil and science, attempting to resurrect a dead child. Winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama, Bone Cage offers gripping lyricism, dark humour, and visceral drama in this portrait of self-destruction. It is a raw and poetic examination of the lives of those who strip the environment and their souls.

Don’t miss your chance to see this thought-provoking production, where nature and humanity collide in a deeply moving story.
