ABOUT THE PLAY
IN THE CANYON showcases a gripping, darkly comedic narrative that explores the profound impacts of societal change. Under the direction of Jaimelyn Gray, this play will captivate audiences with its intense storytelling that explores the lives of its characters over several decades, from 2007 to 2067, as they navigate personal and societal upheavals. The play is a poignant reflection on resilience, community, and the ever-changing landscape of America covering issues from a woman’s right to choose, to climate change. Viewer discretion advised.

REVIEWS
(MAJOR SPOILERS IN CRITIC REVIEWS)
“…Brilliantly dark stuff. See this show.” –Russ Bickerstaff, Shepherd Express Contributor, on facebook
”Full commitment in every word, fearless performances from a terrific group of locals, balls out directing as usual from [Jaimelyn Gray]. The work is worth your money and the play is importantly good for thought….” – Brent Hazelton, Artistic Director of Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, on facebook
”There are lessons to be learned from watching In the Canyon , and the Constructivists are to be praised for bringing this chilling (but also funny) play to life. In many ways, In the Canyon may be the most important play to see prior to November’s election.” –Anne Siegel, Total Theater
