Featuring a lineup of the best and brightest artists from the Cariboo and beyond, Theatre in the Bog offers playful, daring theatre mixed with a healthy dose of folksy charm.
Brian Fidler, the Artistic Director of Ramshackle Theatre, is working with artists and theatre makers to create magic in the bog just on the edge of Wells. Get out of the black box and see just how wild theatre can be!
Set in the meadow on the edge of the town of Wells, on the traditional territory of the Lhtako Dene, in an area with significant land use of the Dakelh and Secwépemc peoples, Theatre in the Bog leaves the seats and stages behind, allowing creators to explore beyond the boundaries of conventional theatre. Against a backdrop of scrubby spruce, pine, and willow, audiences are led through the woods to see original performances that artists have cooked up over the course of a week.
