Walk&Talk Theatre Company looks to create original, interdisciplinary work that engages the heart and the brain.

Through music, movement and writing we look to explore the world we live in and question why it is that way.

POSTPONED - DEATH & OTHER CHARACTERS!

Hi pals!
We’ve made the cute call to POSTPONE the sharing of this project to let it incubate a bit longer!

We’ve spent a beautiful 2 weeks developing this project in the studio and can’t wait to invite an audience to view sometime in 2025!

We’ve sent emails and refunds to ticket holders - if you didn’t get a notice, please get in touch with us!

Stay tuned for this project in the NEW YEAR!

Tickets: Pay-What-You-Decide

Venue: Studio Iceland - 468 Main Street - 2nd Floor
*Limited Seating*

About the Show:
Death & Other Characters is an hour-long new musical-in-development that explores & celebrates death, grief, and the little moments of mourning we experience everyday.

Death meets a Sailor, who’s end is coming up on the docket, but Death is a little ahead of schedule! To make matters worse, Death, the usually ever-particular, has misplaced the document that outlines how this Sailor is going to kick the can. Not wanting to spend their final moments alone, the Sailor joins Death as they continue their quest to stay ahead of their dubious and lengthy schedule!

Thank you to The Winnipeg Arts Council for funding this project.

Venue Information:
Studio Iceland is an intimate, shared studio space in the heart of Downtown Winnipeg. The venue is inaccessible as it is located up a flight of 13 stairs and has no elevator access. We apologize for this barrier to access. Death & Other Characters will be beautifully archived through video and, if requested, we can provide an opportunity to watch the project, still at a Pay-What-You-Decide ticket price.
