…a musical about love, loss, and never letting go
Jasper is a lost girl in the living world. She’s failing classes, kicked off the swim team, and her family is on the skids. At least Jasper has Agnes. In a night of teenage passion, Jasper and Agnes consummate a years-long friendship. But in the morning Agnes is gone, having texted Jasper to meet her at their cliff. When she arrives there’s no sign of her best friend, only a swirling vortex in the water below. Jasper dives into Deadland to find her beloved Agnes before she forgets and loses her love (and herself) forever.
In this pop-rock, queer retelling of the classic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, the two teens discover what it means to die, and try to remember what it means to live. This Canadian premiere is not to be missed.
Featuring an intersectional cast of 9 emerging talents:
Natalie Backerman, Merewyn Comeau, Nathan Cottell, Lucia Forward, Max Fritz-Borowski, Julia Maclean, Rose McNeil, Ryan Nunez, and Courtney Shields.
