Sep 18 2024

Foothills theatre collective, the Erratic Players, is looking for an Indigenous actor to join their ranks for an upcoming production.

They are producing a play about the legendary Lost Lemon Mine, rumoured to be hidden somewhere in the southwest section of the province.

“This show is called ‘The Raiders of the Lost Lemon Mine,'” explained the play’s director and one its producers, Katie Fournell. “And this show is about the lost Lemon Mine legend, which many people in Alberta will know, but some people don’t. There is a lost mine, or a gold vein, somewhere in the Rocky Mountains and there is a legend of where it is. It was discovered by a man named John Lemon.”

The show plays on that legend and the search for the lost mine.
