ROUGAROU
Playwright Damion Le Clair
*READING OF PLAY ONLY*
Based on the Métis legend that originated on Turtle Island centuries ago, Renee is plagued with memories of their missing and potentially murdered sister along the roads of Highway 16. Renee has never stopped looking for his beloved sister since the day she was taken but now a menacing figure at the edge of the wood stalks Renee… watching…waiting. Will Renee find his missing sister or will they fall victim to the same fate? Sometimes family can find you even in the darkest of times. Min 15 years +.
