Performers Needed for "White Plague" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers for production of "White Plague". Please, see the details below. About the play: In the remote wilderness of Muskoka, St. Camillus Consumption Sanitarium stands as a crumbling monument to faith, fear, and forgotten lives. Here, modern medicine is cast aside in favour of penitence, prayer, and punishing isolation. Margaret Sanderson, a young Métis nurse with a shadowed past, tends quietly to the dying — and to the ghosts that linger just beyond the veil. But when Cornelius ‘Red’ McIntyre, a beloved Irish tenor from Toronto, arrives at the sanitarium barely clinging to life, strange things begin to stir. Twisted apparitions, whispered voices, and shared visions bind the two together as they unearth a dark thread that ties their lives to the sins of the past. Just as Margaret begins to believe she may not be mad — or alone — Cornelius dies… and then returns three days later. A gothic mystery woven with religious fanaticism, Indigenous identity, grief, and the supernatural, White Plague is a chilling meditation on memory, belief, and the price of silence. Additional information: Location: Cambridge, ON. SHOW DATES: April 2-5, 2026.
