Thumbs Up Good Work Theatre is proud to present Lumber by Métis playwright Colin Wolf. From the creator of Indigenous Voices Award-winning CoyWolf, Colin draws inspiration from his lived experience starting a firewood-harvesting business in Haines Junction, YT.
Lumber is a one-hour romp through the Yukon wilderness with Jack Bennet (Colin Wolf) as your guide. Jack Bennet has lost his job, his girlfriend, his home, and worst of all, his dog just died. He is ready to flee north, really far north, to the Yukon and start over. Directed by Nathan Howe, the play features storytelling, comedy, and a chainsaw—or two!
Thumbs Up Good Work Theatre is a labour of love co-founded by Colin Wolf and his sister Caleigh Crow. Lumber is proudly co-produced by husband-and-wife team Colin and Sydney Wolf. They are touring together from Calgary to Halifax this summer before winding up back home for the fall leg of the tour in the Yukon and Northwest Territories.
When asked where the idea to write Lumber came from, “I had a bunch of stories floating around about the hijinks of starting my own wood harvesting company, and I knew I wanted to turn it into a one man show,” said Colin Wolf, playwright and performer, “I learned so much about harvesting beetle K*ll to lower forest fire risk, but also about myself and my determination to survive an honestly pretty rocky time in my life. I learned the hard way - even if you leave town, run from your problems, hide in the bush, no matter where you go, there you are.”
