Imperative Theatre


You have little time left to catch The Hours That Remain ". This project has not been easy. The subject matter is heavy, but it is important that we share these stories, that we confront these hard truths, and that we move forward to build a stronger nation together. And be prepared to laugh! Indigenous storytelling is a hearty mix of truth and laughter, and laughter is the best healing medicine. 

FOUR STARS!
"a deeply moving portrait of a family torn apart by grief and a lack of closure ... There are indelible scenes in The Hours That Remain that may linger with you for days (it's with good reason that Theatre by the River has arranged for support workers from Wa-Say Healing Centre to be on hand for anyone who needs to talk after the show). For that reason, and for the conversations it should inspire, it's imperative theatre." - Jill Wilson, Winnipeg Free Press

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK

“....an important play that deals with some very dark truths. It’s the kind of play that needs to be seen, sat with, and have conversations about.”

"This play deserves packed houses!" 

"Intense, excellent play...had me laughing at times and bawling my eyes out the next, I’d recommend it as a have to see, take your kokum, your aunts and especially your daughters. EGOSI!"

"We saw the show Friday evening. Intense, powerful, thought provoking. Highly recommended."

"Look y’all gotta see the hours that remain from theatre by the river. That is all."
