<div style="font-size: 16px; ">GPRC's Theatre Rising, has a history of producing award winning Canadian plays – most of them by women playwrights. It is exciting to be producing a play that is by an Alberta woman playwright about a quintessential Alberta story
– one we still live today with our social and economic reality governed by big oil and gas. Koller's play is of the land and how it sustains us despite the ongoing struggle between the interests of industry and the environment.</div>
