“Having “skeletons in the closet” has never been sexier!“
Excerpt from press release:
Boy meets girl. Add a run-down apartment, a barrage of quirks, and several unsolved mysteries…and things are bound to spiral out of control!
The Woolgatherer is KD’s inaugural production, and is also the first script written by famed American playwright William Mastrosimone. The artists at KD believe in the power of Mastrosimone’s words. They have been known to repeat the mantra, “if it ain’t on the page, it ain’t on the stage”, which, roughly translated, means that they are thrilled to be tackling such a strong text.
Directed by Yehuda Fisher, the show features Kayla Whelan and Jonathan Shatzky. Fisher is the Artistic Producer of Panfish Productions, a company dedicated to the development of new Canadian work. He has helmed four pieces in the InspiraTO Festival over the last two years. Whelan co-produced and performed to critical acclaim in Harold Pinter’s Betrayal at the 2012 Hamilton Fringe Festival. She has filmed commercials for Much Music andThe Comedy Network, and saw a UFO on Close Encounters. Shatzky has appeared on Flashpoint, Lost Girl, and in the film Francine, starring Oscar-winner Melissa Leo.
