Today Only! "The Martian and the Mound" Show Needs Talent
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Directors are urgently in need of boys and girls ages 11+ for "The Martian and the Mound" show. Please, see the details below. About the show: A time-bending, prairie-rooted theatrical romp co-created by dozens of Southern Manitoba citizens and artists from One Trunk Theatre. The Martian and the Mound follows Dr. Phoenix Albright, an archaeologist from Mars, as they investigate a mysterious “pull” beneath a Manitoba mound. Guided by ghosts, memories, and extinct animals, Albright travels through pivotal moments in the region’s past—from the tallgrass prairie to the future’s last sunset. This play blends myth, memory, and local voices, asking: in the eyes of history what makes a moment worth remembering? Additional information: Rehearsals: September 4th-October 16th 2025.
