Diggers at the Segal Centre – Febraury 1-17, 2024 LiveEvents January 25, 2024 721 A Black Theatre Workshop and Prairie Theatre Exchange Co-Production World Premiere! DIGGERS by Donna-Michelle St.Bernard There are those who stand apart by merit of the work they do – whether they want to or not. Three gravediggers make the best of a bad situation as townsfolk grow increasingly distant. Synopsis Abdul and Solomon introduce newbie Bai to the intricacies and dignity of gravedigging for the town down the hill. But when illness hits the town, the three must make the best of a bad situation as their workload increases and their support from the community diminishes. Full of song, laughter, tears and beautiful humanity, Diggers is a tribute to essential workers. Starring Bai – Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren Abdul – Chance Jones Solomon – Christian Paul Sheila – Warona Setshwaelo To purchase your tickets visit: www.segalcentre.org or call 514-739-7944 Segal Centre for Performing Arts5170 Côte-Ste-CatherineMontreal, QuébecH3W 1M7 Black Theatre Workshop is Canada’s longest running Black theatre company and is committed to reflecting Black culture and community by developing and providing visibility for Black Canadian artists.
