Tragedy Sound

by Karen Saari

Three young women accept a dare and embark on a canoe trek on frigid waters. Dangerous conditions prevail and force them to reveal and face the choices they've made and the trappings of life in their confining hometown.

    A fast-paced, expertly crafted, gut-punch of a play. Thrilling and highly theatrical, with enticing roles for three young actors. Extremely worthy of wide-spread production!

    A true exploration of young female friendships and what happens when you start to outgrow them. This plays has rich characters with complicated feelings, and I found the setting of the canoe on the waters of Lake Superior to be a beautifully unsettling place.
