The Play: Summer 2011. Winnipeg. Two best friends and brothers-in-law, Eddie and Jim, make the decision to deal with the effects of their residential school experience. They’re on a healing journey, but will they make it?

Owl Calling introduces audiences to a close knit, Indigenous family in suburban Winnipeg and their struggle to find reconciliation.

An emotional journey of heartache, laughter, romance and music.
