The Walking Man Collective – Somewhere Here > June 2-6, 2027

Sault Ste. Marie’s “The Walking Man Collective” is excited to announce the premiere production of “Somewhere Here” by Algoma playwright W.A. (Wendy) Hamilton. The theatre-based interdisciplinary performance, which will be staged from June 2nd to June 6th, 2027 at Heliene Inc. on Allen’s Side Road, is the culmination of years of development. The narrative has undergone creative growth through workshops and readings, funded by the Ontario Arts Council, Theatre Creators Recommender grants and the City of Sault Ste. Marie Arts and Culture Assistance Program. That process is continuing as the production takes shape. The twelve thousand square foot warehouse at Heliene will provide a space that will help create an immersive experience.

“Somewhere Here” explores the power of buried memory and is an odyssey of rediscovery and catharsis. As the characters use child’s play and fragments of memory, they go deeper into the recesses of the protagonist’s mind, employing body memories which are triggered by half-forgotten sounds, movement and dramatic environmental conditions.

“The Walking Man Collective” brings together a team of creative individuals from a variety of artistic disciplines to collaborate on the production; Director Loretta Durat ( In Your Eyes Projects, Sault Youth Theatre), W.A. Hamilton (Theatre in Motion) and sound and set designer Michael Burtch (Hinterbrane). The lighting magic will be provided by Rob Rock. The collective is now in the process of recruiting actors and crew. Anyone who is interested in being part of this production can reach us at…
