Theatre by the River presents, Glad To Be Here, October 19 - 28 at Portage Avenue Church, 1420 Portage Avenue. Winnipeg, 2075. The city is under water. Portage Place is a community haven and greenhouse. The dry zone has been walled off since the great flood of 2045, and we are being invited to see what’s inside. That’s the doomsday conceit of Glad To Be Here, the latest, and most literally, work of immersive theatre from Winnipeg’s ever-inventive Theatre by the River. With video, audio and live performers, the show will transform the Portage Avenue Church throughout the show’s run. 231012 - Thursday, October 12, 2023.
