Event
Lion in the Streets
Isobel, a nine-year old Portuguese girl, races around her neighbourhood lost and frightened. She observes a series of interconnected episodes that give graphic glimpses into the desperate and unsettled lives of the strangers in her community. With no distinction between reality and fantasy, Isobel is drawn into a dreamlike state to consider the power of compassion, forgiveness, and redemption.
The play is being performed by Resonance Theatre Collective, a group of professionals from across Canada and the United States.

Carradine directed her first play, Train Tracks, a show based on 14 year old Prince Tyres death, when she was 17.
