Sep 29, 30, Oct 5-7 - The Alcan Craze of '42
Sep 29, 30, Oct 5, 6, 7, 2017 @ 7:30 PM
Adults $25, Students & Seniors $20, Children $15
Join the North Peace Cultural Centre and Stage North Theatre Society in celebrating the 75th anniversary of the building of the Alaska Highway and see the fear and excitement the building of the Alaska Highway brought to Fort St. John. Twenty four local actors and 12 production crew are recreating the shock and awe of the locals when 10,000 US soldiers and huge machines invaded the Peace Country in 1942. Determined to build a road to Alaska through the mud and muskeg, the US Army got help and comfort from local residents. The Alcan Craze of ’42 brings those stories to life with vivid detail and northern humour.
The Alcan Craze of ’42 is an original play by local playwright Deborah Butler and directed by BC actor and director Michael Armstrong.

Stage North is extremely proud of our friends in the production and look forward to hearing about their experiences. Break a leg!

Retrofitting the Stage North Rehearsal Space
Thanks to the generous support of the BC Creative Spaces Grant Stage North received this year, we are able to retrofit our rehearsal space (otherwise known as “the Space”). We are in the process of purchasing light and sound equipment, and will be able to offer a unique theatre experience to the public in the coming season. Stay tuned for upcoming events and activities at the Space.
