She’s a bartender.
He’s a regular.
With nothing in common except they're both there... every day.
Bar games, pop culture, and a crash course through the generational divide – get tied up in the laugh-out-loud bonds of dependency and boredom.
A hit of the High Performance Rodeo, GEMINI combines the on-stage forces of Sterling Award winner Louise Casemore (Undressed, OCD) and Governor General Award winner Vern Thiessen (Diviners, Einstein’s Gift).
Who really holds the power when someone’s paying the tab?
Part fairytale, part cautionary tale, GEMINI is an “uncannily seductive two-hander”. (Liz Nicholls)

Land acknowledgement
This play was written, developed, and premiered on Treaty 6 territory and Metis Region 4. Amiskwaciy-wâskahikan (Edmonton) is the traditional meeting ground and ancestral home for many Indigenous peoples, including the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Metis, and the Nakota Sioux peoples. There is no acknowledgement without action, and we recognize the multitudes of ways that we have benefitted, historically and currently, as settlers on colonized land.
