Sea Sick Fundraiser

Produced by The Theatre Centre

The Theatre Centre’s Board of Directors invites you to a special fundraising presentation featuring a one night only exclusive engagement with award-winning author and science journalist Alanna Mitchell in Sea Sick. This acclaimed production, which opened our community hub in the former Carnegie Library five years ago, has toured regionally, nationally, and internationally ever since.

★★★★ “Can a science journalist save the world through the power of theatre?”
— The Guardian

SEA SICK, scientist and journalist Alanna Mitchell’s
critically acclaimed production about the state of the global ocean uses science and her own delicate wit to tell us about her journey to the bottom of the ocean, the demons she discovered there, and her hope for the future.

Mitchell is an award-winning Canadian journalist and author (New York Times, CBC’s Quirks & Quarks, Globe and Mail, and more) who writes about science and social trends specializing in investigative reporting. Sea Sick is inspired by her international bestseller and award-winning book of the same name.
