Colleen Wagner’s award-winning play has been leaving audiences with “tears and goosebumps,” according to a news release.
Mother/son duo Valerie Senyk and Callam Rodya star as Mejra and Stetko in this dark, violent, but hopeful production, which features additional performances from Cecilia Macdonald and musician Kevin Morgan.
The staging of the play is unique and electrifying, said Encore Theatre. The characters’ long and moving journey is mirrored by the audience members’ movement through the space — from execution chamber, to dead farm fields, to the final dramatic confrontation in the deep woods.
'The Monument' takes centre stage July 16 to July 20 at 8 p.m. at the Ernie Checkeris Theatre at Thorneloe University. Tickets are $25 for adults, $22 for seniors and $20 for students.
Seating is intimate and extremely limited, so audience members are encouraged to buy tickets beforehand at www.encoretheatre.ca.
