RADIO SILENCE Development

Open Pit Theatre has joined forces with the WONDERHEADS to bring you a brand new northern mask and puppetry show called Radio Silence.

Here are a few shots of our lead characters Ruth & Poppy!

We have been developing the show since 2019 and here are a few early shots of our progress…

Last August, team WONDER-PIT completed our final development phase in Whitehorse. We spent three weeks participating in an @YAC residency at The Old Fire Hall, which concluded in an invited workshop presentation of the show.

Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare for the world premiere, and tour of Radio Silence!

Thank you to Canada Council for the Arts, Arts Fund, and The Yukon Art Centre for their support of this project.

Open Pit Theatre is based in Whitehorse, Yukon on the traditional territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation, and the Ta'an Kwäch'än Council. We are honoured to devise, rehearse, and perform on these lands.
