Bird On Stage Productions is seeking ONE Set/Prop Designer for the premiere of a new Canadian play:

THE TWIN SUES
Written by award-winning playwright Garrett M. Ryan

In the midst of an American-Canadian war, the twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie have been annexed and reunified under Michigander rule.

Former border guards Sue Johnson and Sue Jackson, once childhood friends known as the +ldquo;Twin Sues,+rdquo; now share a checkpoint on the newly nationalized bridge that connects them.

Told through a darkly comic, documentary-style lens, The Twin Sues traces the slow unravelling of a friendship in a world where everything has changed, except the human need to belong to something larger than oneself.

The play blends:

+bull; Cold War satire
+bull; Apocalypse fiction
+bull; Small-town Canadiana
+bull; Dark absurd comedy

The main setting is The International Bridge in Sault Ste. Marie, with design motifs including:

+bull; Fishing culture
+bull; Coffee shops
+bull; Border crossing imagery
+bull; Cold War tension
+bull; Rural Northern Ontario aesthetic

Visual inspiration may draw from:

+bull; Constructivist design
+bull; Cold War propaganda
+bull; Small-town roadside aesthetics
+bull; Surreal minimalism

The Designer will receive a $500 honorarium for their work on this production.

Availability:
