Engineered Air Theatre @ Werklund Centre - 234 9 Ave SE
Directed by Mark Lewandowski
An itinerant sailor leads a widow and her housekeeper on a treacherous journey into the South American jungle…without ever taking them out of the living room. With creative bravado, Jack Vail propels two women from Providence Rhode Island to the imaginative landscapes of New Orleans, Panama, and the Amazon. As they encounter explorers, international playboys, and all manner of tropical wildlife, they dig deeper into the mystery behind a disappearance, with life altering consequences.

Join us for a reading of our Scripts on Fire winning script “Waves” by Romeo Ciolfi
WAVES tells the story of three generations of wildly different women, a grandmother, mother and daughter who come to live together in a country house.
Their lives are forever changed as these strong-willed women wrestle with various levels of grief, incredible love, difficult partings, new romances, newborns and gardening!
Our jury was Laurel Lepine, Clem Martini and Andrew Cooper

We Are Fire Exit Theatre
Founded in 2002 with Hope, Challenge, Change as our foundation and a desire to create community and create in community.
Our aim is to artistically explore the world through the lens of faith. We challenge our artists and patrons to think new thoughts, lean into empathy, examine who our neighbour is, and to be open to transformation and the hope of redemption.
We invest in the emerging artists who are developing their creative voices, finding their way in the world. And we seek to learn from the established artists who have gone before.
We have grown into a respected company who seeks to serve the arts community in Calgary and beyond.
