Next year The Loose Moose Theatre Company turns 50! In celebration of this and Keith's work a documentary is being filmed and your support is needed.

The Loose Moose Theatre: Fifty Years Of Failure - is more than a history lesson, it’s an ode to the transformative power of play, an intimate portrait of a legendary comedy institution, and an inspiring testament to the philosophy that everyone can improvise.

Please contribute if you can and share this through your networks. Thank you!
