"It is the story of a single night, and the story of a lifetime"
​
In July 2021 81 Minutes premiered at Theatre New Brunswick's Open Space Theatre. Produced by NotaBle Acts, '81 Minutes' was a co-production with FIT (Falling Iguana Theatre). With a cast of five actors (Jilly Hanson, Jean-Michel Cliche, Neomi Iancu Haliva, Ian Ottis Goff, Alexa Higgins) the play was written, created, and directed by Falling Iguana's co-founders, Ian Ottis Goff and Alexa Higgins. Ian also created the sound design, comprised of original compositions as well as a little help from Mozart and Jean-Francois Lesueur. Tech and sound design was done by Trent Logan. 81 Minutes was stage-managed by Armin Panjwani, with assistant stage amanagent by Devin Rockwell. NB Acts Artistic Director, Len Falkenstein acted as consulting director for the production.
Psst!
Did you know that in our last production, 81 Minutes, over 75% of the team (both on and offstage) were female-identifying folks? Crane Girl will follow this trajectory too!
