Metis Mutt in Toronto This January

Comedic, heartbreaking and unpredictable, Elter's semi-autobiographical performance piece recounts the journey of a young Métis man finding his way out of a destructive cycle. Elter expertly switches between storytelling, stand-up comedy, music and multi-character vignettes to expose the impact of family dysfunction, internalized racism and spiritual growth.

Sheldon Elter is an award-winning Métis actor, writer, stand-up comic, musician and director originally from Northern Alberta. He has been recognized for his work as a playwright and performer with two Sterling Awards for Métis Mutt and several other nominations for outstanding performance. His career as a stand-up comic has taken him across Western Canada. Elter was also a Top 14 Finalist on Canadian Idol. He is a core-member of the ukulele rock band sensation, The Be Arthurs.
