Project Description

The Snow by Finegan Kruckemeyer. Directed by Carole Patullo.

When an epic snowfall imprisons the residents of the tiny village of Kishka, young Theodore Sutton proposes the villagers build a catapult to fling him and six of the village’s bravest and strongest out in search of a solution. The catapult hastily assembled, Theodore and the heroes are launched over the snow and into the grandest of adventures.

A cast and crew of 29 young people aged 13-22 brought this whimsical and heartfelt story to life in July, after a five month rehearsal period. Utilising sustainable theatre practices: recycled and repurposed sets, costumes and props, this wonderful tale was visually arresting, at the same allowing the poetic text to shine.
