Join us for a special script reading of DUCKS by Ellen Close, featuring the actor participants of the Slaight New Play Actor Training program. Directed by Marie Farsi and based on Kate Beaton’s acclaimed graphic novel, this play follows the journey of Katie, a 22-year-old cartoonist from Cape Breton, who takes a job in the oil sands to pay off her student loans. This process workshop showing is part of the development leading up to the play’s premiere at Banff Centre in October 2025. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to see the early stages of a compelling new Canadian play.
