The Essentials
(PERFORMANCE BEGINS AT AROUND 17 minutes 35 seconds)
Last spring news broke that the Cargill beef processing plant in High River was the centre of the largest COVID19 outbreak in North America at the time, with just shy of a thousand active cases and three associated deaths. Shortly after the JBS plant in Brooks was also rocked with hundreds of positive cases. This new documentary-performance reveals the human stories behind the fleeting headlines.
With verbatim text taken directly from interviews with plant workers and embodied by professional actors The Essentials offers audiences an gateway into conversations about the livelihoods of marginalized workers now deemed essential, the deathly effects Covid19 has had on their communities, and the resilient hope they still hold for a better future.

Every house has secrets…
Miss Elizabeth Le Petyt, an aspiring author, ventures to Cornwall to escape her hectic London life. The cottage she chooses has a mysterious past, and seems like the perfect inspiration for her writing. However, misplaced items, inexplicable events and whispers in the dark disrupt her solace, and have her questioning her sanity. Is this her own past coming back to haunt her, or is she getting too close to discovering the cottage’s secrets. WHISPERS IN THE DARK is a haunting tale inspired by Victorian ghost stories.
