Short Works for Long Nights with Death, Jesus and Friends - Week 2

  • Old Fire Hall 105 Front Street Whitehorse, YK Canada (map)

A cabaret night for local artists to perform short works of theatre, spoken word, music, and more. We currently are accepting submissions until December 17 for our call out to local artists to perform for Short Works for Long Nights.

Death, Jesus and Friends is the creation of Brian Fidler, Claire Ness and Sharon Shorty with Ramshackle Theatre. Performed by Fidler, this 30-minute work is a tabletop puppet show featuring action figures, hand puppets and a bendable Jesus that celebrates sibling rivalry and what lies beyond. 

The overworked and underappreciated character of Death has hurt his foot and falls into a deep funk. Bob and Doug McKenzie engage in a childish game with disastrous results. Jesus and his brother argue about their Dad. Nothing is right in the afterlife unless they can help each other.

Part improv, part absurdist meditation on the nature of being, this show is the perfect remedy for the darkest days of winter.
