Theatre Heroes Presents
Jack London's
CALL OF THE WILD
Illustrated Edition
Sunday, February 11th , 2024 | 2PM
Tickets: $12 | Members: $10
Join us for Jack London's classic story Call of the Wild as it is brought to life on stage. This multi-media adventure mixes performance and storytelling with projected illustrations to tell the story of Buck, the magnificent offspring of a St. Bernard and Scottish Collie.
Kidnapped from his lavish life on a California estate and sent to work as a sled dog during the great Klondike Gold Rush of the 1800s, Buck becomes the most famous dog in the northland’s history and discovers the endurance and strength of his wild, primal ancestors as their call courses through his blood. A thrilling tale of courage and survival.
The production uses 180-degree projection that surrounds the performer and provides scenic, artistic, and historical context to the show through their content. The images feature a unique mix of Philip R. Goodwin’s classical illustrations from the book’s first edition, period photographs, and brand-new drawings and animations created by artist Michael Rae.
This show is family-friendly, but as it closely follows the book, it is recommended for children aged 8 and older. We give it a common sense rating of PG.
