Dancing on the Elephant

Saturday, February 7, 2026 at 2:30 pmYukon Theatre

Mary Walsh, Sheila McCarthy and Amanda Brugel are all excellent in this heart-warming drama about the challenges of friendship at a long term care facility.

When Nora's son drops her off at Shady Rest Retirement Home, she's pretty sure there's not much left to hope for. That is, until unfiltered firecracker Edna wheels into her life and reminds her it ain't over till it's over. The pair kindle a friendship around a love of Fat Archies cookies, disdain for “Chair-xercise,” and Edna's quest to escape the “fox farm.” Edna's failing memory eventually lands her in the secure memory care wing, leaving Nora to plot one last grand adventure in hopes of reminding her friend there are still elephants left to dance on.

Producer Walter Forsyth in attendance.
