TOURING IGUANAS: AN 81 MINUTES FUNDRAISER
Donation protected
We here at Falling Iguana Theatre will be taking our second original production, 81 Minutes, on tour across the East Coast from April 22-24, 2022!
ABOUT THE TOUR!
Our first stop with 81 Minutes is in Fredericton, New Brunswick on April 22nd, where the show was first performed in 2021. Next, we will travel to Sackville, New Brunswick, in partnership with Live Bait Theatre and NotaBle Acts Theatre Festival on April 23rd. The tour's final stop will be in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, on April 24th. We are extremely excited to have our original cast return to remount 81 Minutes. They are: Jilly Hanson, Jean-Michel Cliche, Neomi Iancu Haliva, Ian Ottis Goff and Alexa Higgins
ABOUT THE PLAY!
81 Minutes is a fast-paced thrill ride exploring the largest unsolved art heist in history- that of the Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990. The play is a speculative depiction of the events of that fateful night, and weaves together two intersecting storylines: the adventure of the thieves and guards present on the night of the robbery in 1990, and the story of the museum’s trailblazing founder Isabella Stewart Gardner in the late 1800s. The piece runs exactly 81 minutes (the precise amount of time the thieves were in the museum), which is counted down, in real-time, by a clock hanging above the stage. As with Falling Iguana’s previous work, this production fuses movement, text, and music into a highly entertaining theatrical experience.
