Lost & Found - June 10

🗣️ Performed in English, with selected Ukrainian monologues

Step into the world of new beginnings, cultural clashes, and unexpected friendships with Lost & Found—a heartfelt and humorous original play written by Laura J. Cutler and directed by Snizhana Gukasian-Korobeinikova, a professional actress and director from Ukraine, who, in her first year of settling in Calgary, won the CAT AWARD 2024 for Best Leading Role in Sylvia.

Through the lens of Kateryna, a Ukrainian immigrant, and a diverse cast of newcomers, this play dives into the emotional, psychological, and cultural challenges of starting over in Canada. From language barriers to hilarious misunderstandings, from deep struggles to hope and connection, this story captures the real-life journeys of people from around the world who now call Canada home.

Set in the office of a newcomer counselor, Suzanne, the play unfolds through the voices of immigrants from different countries, each sharing their unique and often funny experiences of settling down. With a touch of Calgary's spirit, the show blends light comedy with moments of deep emotion, reflecting on what it truly means to find yourself in a new country.
