rEvolver welcomes veteran BC actress Susan Hogan (Heartland, Battlestar Galactica) to its stage in Kayak a play of global environmental proportions that manages to make them personal.
BMW-driving, bleached-blond Annie Iverson (Hogan) sets out to save her son (Sebastian Kroon) from the dangers of his radical environmentalist girlfriend (Marisa Smith) and unwittingly throws herself into a path of events larger than she could ever have imagined.
Floating in a kayak, she is catapulted through a literal storm of memories as she struggles to cling to whats right in her ever-shrinking world. In a time when green is the new black, Jordan Halls Kayak is a witty, provocative and deeply human perspective on the global environmental crisis.
