'Oil plays'?

[Mark]

Great question, Karen, and one I'm pursuing too.
Some initial finds:

Cultch Theatre's Extraction
http://conspiracy.ca/tc_production/extraction/

Emergency Architect Theatre's Highway 63: The Fort Mac Show http://www3.carleton.ca/cove/OilSandsEventMoreInfo.pdf

And maybe
Alberta Theatre Projects' Good Fences http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/theatre-and-performance/the-oil-sands-latest-byproduct-cutting-edge-theatre/article545406/
http://www.atplive.com/playRites/GoodFences/index.html

I'd like to know of more myself.

Thx
