invitation to attend the world premiere of Last Chance Leduc

[Smith, Annie]

Greetings Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the world premiere of Katherine Koller's award winning play, Last Chance Leduc, March 5 to 14, in Grande Prairie, AB.

Please see poster attached.


Set during the 1947 Leduc oil strike, Wes and Evalma struggle in

the oil and water of a young marriage in peril, in winter, in a

tarpaper shack in the woods, with a baby and another dry well. He

wants a gusher, she wants a garden and Tricky wants a girl like

Ev, his best friend's wife. While the men work all day and all

night, Ev meets a lady trapper in the woods, Nohkom, who shows her

the power of the river in the landscape of marriage.


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.

Best wishes,
Annie Smith
Play Director
Professor of Drama
Grande Prairie Regional College
