Theatre Festival

Theatre has always been an integral part of our culture, reflecting and expanding the experience of those who are a part of that culture. From primitive storytelling to the massive, expensive formal productions of the present day, theatre informs, teaches and profoundly affects us all.

A play by Darcy Fowler

The Bird and the Two-Ton Weight juxtaposes two lives: the life of a young woman in 2008 trying to find her way and save her family after the sudden death of her mother, and the life of a young woman in 1988, during her semester abroad in London, before her death in the Pan Am 103 terrorist bombing. It is the story of what happens when these two lives collide through the discovery of a journal; it is a story about hope and possibility.

Actors include Madeline Goldberg, Seth Finkelstein, Henry MacLean, Emma MacLean, Jackson Martel, and Mia Formichella.
