Ursa: A Folk Musical

Saturday, November 11 at Silence

Having performed their new, original musical Ursa: A Folk Musical across Ontario, The Uncommon Folk Collective is thrilled to be bringing a “concert version” of the show to intimate spaces in Toronto, London, and Guelph. Featuring Belinda Corpuz, Ben Page, Jake Schindler, and Sam Boer, this upcoming run of concerts will foreground the distinctive, folky songs of the show while relaying the fabricated folk tale of a restless young woman, an anxious bear, and the star-crossed friendships they forge.

This 80-minute musical, which was praised by The Guardian as a “winning, foot-tapping account of grizzly adolescence” and The WholeNote for its “freshness, youthful energy, and experimental daring,” premiered at the Toronto Fringe NextStage Festival; had a limited run at the Kingston Grand Theatre; and was performed at a variety of venues, from the Bancroft Village Playhouse to Bon Echo Provincial Park, as the first show selected for Tweed & Co.’s site-specific theatre program.

Each show starts at 8pm, with doors opening at 7:30pm. Tickets are available now via Eventbrite!
