Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre-Media Centre
WORLD PREMIERE

What happens when your elevator gets stuck on the way to a high-profile meeting, Jonesie and Tallahassee are about to find out! As tempers rise, the shrinking space becomes a pressure cooker, as the men struggle to get it back up and running. Told with hilarious hijinks, the two attempt a series of adventurous escapes, and through these mishaps, a brutal and bitingly funny conversation about power emerges. Will the elevator become unstuck?
 
This new play developed in the Pimootayowin Creators Circle is a fast-paced exploration of reconciliation and what it means to see the humanity of another person.
