What our show is about:
Lee is working a repetitive, boring, desk job that she is not passionate about. She's trapped. An opportunioty arises at work where she can bump her way up to something more freeing. Through an incredible, unexpected journey, she rediscovers her imagination.
Growing up, the box your toy came in was always more fun to play with. It could become anything. And we are strong believers of thinking ‘outside the box’.
All music composed by Chalene Scott.
Montreal Fringe was June 10-20 and was awesome! Our shows in Stitsville and Cobalt also went extremely well! Saskatoon were full audiences and a good review!
