Overview

An old man, who strangely resembles the gramps in Up wanders through a forest on the run from a mysterious tracker hell bent on hunting him down. Swept into a surreal world, lost yet learning, he wanders, possibly in search of Xanax, but probably in hope of light.

From the team behind multi-award winning production The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer comes another heartfelt adventure that explores the emotions, burdens and brilliance that come with age, It’s Dark Outside. Through puppetry, animation, masks, and beautiful live performance, this grand stage exploration delivers an epic western-style tale about dementia and redemption, through sincere theatrical tones.

Whether you’re curious of the capability’s of this generation of theatre, or have a soft spot for pure ingenuity and human compassion, It’s Dark Outside shouldn’t be missed. It’s a gentle reminder that while it might be nice to run away from the life you once had, it’s not so easy to hide from it.
