Through his very unpopular podcast - Daryl (aka Starman) will take his internet “friends” on a journey into his chosen exile which may lead him to confront a part of himself he never knew existed.

White Noise by Taran Kootenhayoo

White Noise, a curious comedy by Taran J. Kootenhayoo

This workshop production is produced by Savage Society.

When the Mannings notice that new neighbours have moved in next to their Point Grey home, they invite them over for dinner. Drama and comedy ensue as a Denesuline & Nakoda Sioux family try to find common ground with the yoga/ corporate Point Grey family, the Mannings. Tensions rise as internalized racism surfaces. White Noise poses the question, how do we deal with internalized racism? Do we keep pushing it away and pretend to live safety in our day to day?

Directed by Renae Morriseau

Starring: Mariel Belanger, Sam Bob, Craig Erickson, Braiden Houle, Pippa Mackie, Anita Wittenberg

Set Design by Lauchlin Johnston
Projection & Sound Design by Cande Andrade Gutierrez
Assistant Direction and Costume Design by Tai Amy Grauman
Stage Manager Dorothy Jenkins
Technical Director Conor Moore
Assistant Technical Director Brody Halfe


White Noise has been developed with the assistance of PTC and Lindsay Lachance.

Special thanks to the B.C. Arts Council, Canada Council for the Arts | Conseil des Arts du Canada City of New Westminster, Talking Stick Festival, The Hamber Foundation and Anvil Centre
