Co-Production with Thumbs Up Good Work and presented by One Yellow Rabbit as part of the 40th Annual High Performance Rodeo. ABOUT THE SHOW: When the city is built on lies, someone has to bring the house down. Corporate landlord Jordan Jamieson sits at the top of his empire. He is rich, ruthless and riding high alongside his whip smart executive assistant and the mayor in his back pocket. It's not long before a fearless prosecutor starts asking questions and we see cracks beginning to form and Jordan's power starting to crumble. From award-winning playwright Caleigh Crow, and composers Sacha Crow and Gus Rendell, Hucksterland is a new musical pulsing with humour, heart and rebellion. It’s loud. It’s fearless. And when the music stops, not everyone makes it out alive. Content warnings: Course language, examples of homophobia, misogyny, ableism, portrayal of sexual acts, heavy drinking, and heavy drug use. Accessibility considerations: bright & flashing lights & loud punk music CAST AND CREW CREATIVE TEAM CALEIGH CROW • Book Writer and Director SACHA CROW • Music & Lyrics, Music Director, and Sound Design GUS RENDELL • Music & Lyrics and Drummer MACKENZIE MEDING • Bassist NEIL FLEMING • Technical Director and Set & Projection Designer KATRIONA DUNN • Costume & Props Designer AJAY BADONI • Lighting Designer NAOMI ESAU • Stage Manager SABRENA SHAH BAIGZADA • Assistant Stage Manager KODIE ROLLAN • Producer & Production Manager SAMUEL KUGBIYI • Production Mentee CAST MIKE TAN • Jordan Jamieson JOSH BERTWISTLE • Jan Van Jan MICHELLE THRUSH • Belinda Moss SAFIA COMTOIS-MOHAMAD • Aspyn Colorado COLIN WOLF • Fritz TECHNICAL CREW MARC LAVALLEE • Theatre Technician ABBY WEEKS • Theatre Technician SALLIEMAE SALCEDO • Sound Technician ANA MULINO • Production Assistant

10 Years of Chromatic Theatre To mark this monumental milestone, we’re hosting a season-long fundraiser to raise $10,000 throughout our 26/27 10th anniversary season! #10kfor10Yrs Donate! A note from our Founding Artistic Director & Our Current Artistic Director: It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since Chromatic incorporated. Reflecting on the past decade, I'm incredibly proud of the community of exceptional racialized artists who have contributed their brilliance to our organization. There's such a wealth of talent and generosity in Mohkinstsis and Chromatic has been an incredible avenue through which to meet new people. Theatre is all about building connections through storytelling - and you are all a part of Chromatic's story. Our very first production was almost 12 years ago in the fall of 2014. "Cowboy Versus Samurai" by Michael Golamco - we didn't really know what we were doing, but we had some grant money, an idea, and trust in each other. Perhaps this is the seed of all theatre? We know more now than we did then, but we have a long way to go. There are more stories to tell, more brilliant artists we want to uplift, and more change we want to see in the world. I can't wait to see what Chromatic does in the next 10 years! Jenna Rodgers, Founding Artistic Director It is such an incredible honour to usher in Chromatic’s 10th season! Having grown with the company within my tenure as artistic director, I can’t help but feel proud of our steadfast commitment to the community of racialized artists we have in this city. The past ten years is a true testament to reality that Moh’kins’tsis (Calgary) has a home for racialized artists to share their stories with their communities, and our work is not liability or a “risk”, but rather an opportunity to truly connect with one another. Like many artists, Chromatic Theatre gave me my start. It gave me the opportunity to grow, to dream, and most importantly, to be the artist I’ve always dreamed of being. These are the very same intentions and feelings that we hope to continue evoking as we look towards the next ten years and beyond. We are grateful to all the artists, audiences, and partners who have joined us on this journey. We are humbled by all the stories we have encountered and gotten to share on our stages and in our programs. The roots we are building in this city would not be achieved without the dedication and passion of all of you who are part of Chromatic’s community. So with that, thank you to our community for your continued support. Thank you for making Chromatic a beacon for racialized artists to proudly shout, we are here and our stories matter. Kodie Rollan, current Artistic Director
