Coyote Collective, comprised of the trio of Susannah Mackay, Eric Welch, and Blue Bigwood-Mallin, is making their Toronto Fringe debut with their flagship production 'Like A Generation.' Originally staged at TPM in the winter of 2013, the show has continued to evolve through workshops and revision over a three year period. It was remounted in the fall of 2015 at Dancemakers in the Distillery District and has been reinvented for the 2016 Toronto Fringe. What started as a collective creation based heavily on metaphysical ideas and a non-linear narrative, has evolved into an intimate, character driven, three-handed comedy that explores coming of age in the 21st Century.
