Northern Light Theatre presents Monstress

Northern Light Theatre begins its 49^th Season, aptly titled Making a Monster, with Artistic Director Trevor Schmidt​’s world première, Monstress.

A failed female doctor, expelled in disgrace from The Upper Harrington Academy of Anatomical Dissection and School of Medicine and Surgery receives a request to revive the dead-neck daughter of a wealthy man. As her relationship progresses with the strangely changed revenant, their personas begin to intertwine and blur. The question arises — which one is the real monstress?

Monstress previews on Thursday November 7, opens on Friday, November 8, and runs until Saturday November 23 at Studio Theatre in the ATB Arts Barns. Tickets are on sale now and start at $37 with many pricing options including Free Student Preview, 2 for 1 Tuesdays, Wet Wednesday $25 tickets including a drink, and Pay What You Can performances.

Monstress features Sydney Williams as The Doctor and Julia van Dam as The Body. The creative team includes Director, Set, and Costume Designer Trevor Schmidt, Lighting Designer Larissa Poho, Sound Designer Dave Clarke, Production Manager Tiana McLean, Stage Manager Elizabeth Allison-Jorde.
