Book, Music & Lyrics by Jonathan Christenson
France. 1940. Seven exceptional female operatives are sent on their most dangerous mission to date, risking their lives to fight a dangerous war of sabotage, propaganda, and espionage. Inspired by real-life agents, THE INVISIBLE is a genre-busting mash-up of historical research, film-noir, graphic novels, and musical theatre. A tour-de-force which has played on stages across Canada.
“Poetic and powerful … an immensely entertaining musical.” – Edmonton Journal
“Compelling storytelling and the exhilaration of a Broadway musical … illuminates the past in a way that audiences won’t soon forget.” – The London Free Press
NEVERMORE – The Imaginary Life & Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe
Date: Friday, October 23

Book, Music & Lyrics by Jonathan Christenson

Having played on stages from London to New York, NEVERMORE is one of Alberta’s most successful theatrical exports.
“Exquisitely stylish … a gothic fantasia.” – The New York Times
