About this Event
Gwaandak Theatre’s EAD Colin Wolf will host us online during week one and in-person during week two of Awaken as we read plays created by Indigenous writers. We will share them out loud together with vigour, experience what it feels like to perform with emotion (and without the addition of sets or props!) and explore the mechanics of a group script reading. If you have ever been interested in being involved with Indigenous Summer Play Readings, this is a great way to try it out!
If you are interested in attending the online version of this event on Tuesday April 14th from 4PM-5:30PM via Zoom, make sure you pre-register in order to receive the Zoom link!

Colin Wolf is a Métis performer, theatre maker, and activist from Moh’kins’tsis (Calgary), AB on Treaty 7 Territory. He graduated with a BFA in Dramatic Arts from the University of Lethbridge in 2014, and then spent five years making theatre all over the prairies. Colin co-founded Thumbs Up Good Work Theatre Collective with his sister Caleigh Crow in 2013. Colin felt the call of the North and moved to Whitehorse in October 2019 to serve as Artistic Director at Gwaandak Theatre. He wrote and produced CoyWolf, a story about loss and grief backdropped by a story of land displacement. Colin produced it as Thumbs Up in partnership with the Guild Hall Theatre in Whitehorse, and toured it to four rural communities in 2023. CoyWolf was published by Playwrights Canada Press and presented by Gordon Tootoosis Nīkānīwin Theatre in October 2025.
