THE SHOW!
Peter Donaldson's performance is a spellbinding work of theater. It's a one man show with everybody in it; a delightfully disturbing tapestry of homespun economics, character insight, and astounding freehand cartography. At one point, Mr. Donaldson's on-stage persona, Cyrus Jackson, draws the entire map of the bioregion naming a hundred rivers. From memory! With good humor, good science and audacious storytelling, Salmonpeople is an utterly delicious, head-scratching lesson in how the real world works. Writer, director, performer Peter Donaldson is a master storyteller. Salmonpeople reaches all ages, everybody's bottom line, and one big landscape.
Don't miss this private showcase performance. We want YOU and your network of community leaders, friends and family to get a taste of the SALMONPEOPLE EXPERIENCE so we can bring it back in 07 or 08 for a full season run at a beloved local theatre near you.
"Performance after performance, Peter walked onstage, sucked everyone in, and didn't let them go until after the standing ovation." - Scot Whitney, Artistic Director, Harlequin Productions, Olympia Washington
"I was riveted, wanting to see where the story was heading. The story unfolds in layers like an onion skin, each layer revealing deeper and deeper meaning. Salmonpeople is an utterly original and intelligently crafted work of art. It was a very moving experience." - Joanne Day, Fisheries & Oceans Canada
"Brilliant performance! Peter connects with an audience in a most profound and unique way - one that fills each with the feeling that he is talking directly and perhaps, only, to him or her." - Toni Sar'h Petrinovich, Whidbey Island
