Mayhem and mutation in Eddyville!
Darwin is a young fish just like any other young fish in Eddyville…except he has legs. One day two hungry bullies drift into in Eddyville from upriver. Darwin’s friends begin to mysteriously disappear. If Darwin can’t learn to use his legs, Eddyville is doomed. To do that he must to venture into the dangerous world of ‘The Shallows.’

Performed by Brian Fidler, Moira Sauer, Joe Zucchiatti, Jude Wong and Dean Eyre, Darwin: A Fish Out of Water is a creation of Brian Fidler and Dean Eyre. With original music by Kim Barlow and puppets built and designed by Jo de Beaudrap, Brian Fidler and Emily Woodruffe, it was created with the support of Yukon Educational Theatre. Darwin received developed last winter and was first presented in workshop form as part of Nakai Theatre’s Homegrown Festival. Plans include a fully mounted puppet version and a Yukon-wide tour of schools and communities this spring.

L’ARK
The success of Diabetes: A Love Story encouraged Yukon Educational Theatre to nurture the growth of more theatre-for-young-audiences. The result is the establishment of a new Yukon theatre company, L’ARK. While L’ARK now has a mission statement and a forming board of directors, it is with the final touring production of Darwin that the company will emerge on the Yukon theatre scene.
Look for it!
