📍 Theatre: The Judy Kafoury Center for Youth Arts
Share
Written and directed by Naphtali Fields-Forbes with music by Joellen Sweeney, this educational play tells the story of the Larsen Bay Salmon Cannery, a cornerstone of Kodiak Island, Alaska's maritime economy for more than a century until its closure in 2024. Through factory-inspired movement, song, and stories from generations of Alaskero, Indigenous, and itinerant workers, it explores the complicated legacies the cannery leaves behind. Featuring Eileen Leyva, Fiely Matias, Adam John Roper, Howell Shepherd, and Jerilyn Sophia.
