Mission Potluck CALGARY

A mashup of comedy, music and poetic monologues, Mission Potluck brings to the stage the story of a Lutheran Ladies Leagues ill-fated fundraising efforts in Gimli in the 1920s. This perfectly devised ensemble piece is inspired by the true story of First Lutherans (Winnipeg) fundraising efforts to build Gimlis first seniors home in the early part of the century.

When it debuted in Gimli in the summer of 2015, it was an immediate hit. Then one Trunk took the show back on the road in the spring of 2016 with the Nuna (now) festival. Bringing the show back to Gimli then Arborg and Riverton.

This tour kicks off where the real story began at First Lutheran Church in Winnipeg before touring to Russell, Langenburg, Saskatoon, Camrose, Edmonton, Clagary, and Regina. Mission Potluck gives audiences an entertaining and heart-wrenching reflection of their own stories and towns. with an Icelandic twist. An immersive theatrical experience (featuring a potluck of Icelandic baking in the parish hall during intermission) Mission Potluck is a perfect recipe for entertainment combining local history with physical comedy, and familiar hymns with the pop music of the day.
