A world-class theatre experience, Spirit Horse is a play about two youth who are caught between two worlds—the traditional ways of their Stoney Nation heritage and the modern ways of the city.
Angelina and Jesse’s lives are changed forever when their grandfather brings them a horse that has mysteriously appeared to him. Can this majestic animal heal a troubled single parent family? Spirit Horse - a poignant tale about family, love and courage – has a warm heart and adventurous spirit.
Three actors play over sixty five characters, accompanied by a live musician, in this highly theatrical and imaginative production.
Spirit Horse is an adaptation by Ojibway playwright, Drew Hayden Taylor, from the Irish play Tir Na N’Og by Greg Banks, directed by Greg Banks, costume design by Robin Fisher, set & lighting design by Glenn Davidson, and music composed by Anne Lederman. The cast features Rain Richardson, Brendan Chandler, and Lisa Nasson with on-stage musician Emilyn Stam.
Spirit Horse is recommended for ages 8+ due to some challenging themes, intense moments and high-stakes scenes of action and adventure.
