Baker Miller Pink presents The Painter and the Lake at Vertigo Theatre
Baker Miller Pink presents “The Painter and The Lake”, a brand-new Canadian multidisciplinary show by Cayley Wreggitt and Samantha Ketsa. Peter, a down-on-his-luck painter, has hit a rut. In search of a muse, he traverses the Kananaskis backcountry until he discovers Lillian, a pristine mountain lake. But something sinister lurks beneath her surface, unearthing ghosts from Peter's past and challenging his relationship to art as a passion and a profession. “The Painter and The Lake” is presented by Baker Miller Pink as a Resident Company of Vertigo Theatre.
