PRINCE GEORGE- Bunk # 7 tells the story of the Edmonton residental School Riots in the 1960s, from the perspective of the young Indigenous boys who found themselves smack in the middle of it. And it’s a story that had a deep connection to Northern BC, Late Nisga’a First Nation playwright Larry Guno, the former MLA of Atlin from 86 -91, is himself a survivor of the Edmonton Indian Residental School, and had a major role to play in the revolt.
One of the leading roles in the Production, played by Haida Gwaii First Nation’s own Kiefer Collison, a passionate indigenous educator in his own right, and a relative of the very same boy he’s now bringing to life on the theatre stage… As an encore to the performance, he’s conducting a Question and Answer talkback to help the audience digest the difficult subject matter
” Tell your cousins, tell your aunties, tell your uncles, tell your significant other, come to Bunk 7, we’re only in Prince George one night only, it’ll just take a couple hours, and it’ll change your life” – Kiefer Collison – Actor Bunk #7 / Big Brother Canada 9 Contestant
