AUDIENCE REVIEWS
Jack Bennet just got dumped, lost his job, reno-victed, and worst of all: his dog died. Hes got nothing left but a truck and his chainsaw. What does he do? He goes North - really far north to find a new purpose. All the way out of Alberta into the Yukon to start a wood harvest. Join him as he tells his story of finding community in unlikely places, and how that drew him closer to home and heritage in its own unique way.
The show will be a fun hour at the theatre, featuring storytelling around the fire, some stand up here and there, and a chainsaw (or 2!), and just enough therapy to hold the good ship Jack Bennet together.
