Life After

As a celebrated Self-Help Guru, Frank Carter seems to have the answer to the meaning of life, but when he smashes into a truck on her 16th birthday, his daughter Alice is left to pick up the pieces and solve the puzzle for herself. An expanded and reworked production of the 2016 hit Fringe musical, LIFE AFTER is a genuine and funny story of love, loss and vivid imagination from one of the most exciting new voices in Canadian musical theatre.

LIFE AFTER is this first production to be a part of The Crescendo Series, a three-year commitment by The Musical Stage Company to produce the work of Britta Johnson and her collaborators.

Co-Produced By The Musical Stage Company, Canadian Stage & Yonge Street Theatricals
