Manitoba Theatre for Young People is digitally staging a performance of this award-winning Australian production from now until October 24.
“The seas have risen, billions have died and those who are left live on farms atop skyscrapers, atop mountains. The scientists have tried everything. Floating islands sank, space probes found nothing, and the giant sponges, visible from the moon, are now rotting icons of failure.”
The play explores the unknown and the magic that exists deep in the oceans. Watch the trailer and then book a stream of The Last Great Hunt’s The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer today and enjoy the magic in your home.
Tickets are only $15, available at MTYP or by calling 204-942-8898.
“I was happy to introduce His Excellency Martin Harvey, High Commissioner of New Zealand in Canada to Honourable Kelvin Goertzen, Deputy Premier of Manitoba for the first diplomatic engagement between New Zealand and Manitoba.” – Brad Robertson, Chief of Protocol, Province of Manitoba.
This from Toby Elson …
“I ran out of Vegemite in November. As you know, Stonewall FF hasn’t been able to get any for a while and I needed my Vegemite fix.
“So, I ordered custom jars from Australia for the same price (with shipping) compared to what I’d been paying locally for the small jars.
“All in, it was $70 for 5 large jars and took 4 weeks to arrive. It was packed really well and fun to have my named jars.
“Sign up at the Vegemite store and get 10% off your first order.”
Thanks, Toby!
