CoyWolf by Colin Wolf, presented by Gordon Tootoosis Nikaniwin Theatre in partnership with Thumbs Up, Good Work Theatre
Isidor, a half-coyote, half-wolf coywolf, has always struggled to find his place as a half-breed. After the untimely death of his mother, he leaves his community to roam across prairies, forests, and mountains, sharing stories in his search for kinship and belonging. But as Sharp-Tooths are increasingly policed, tagged, or killed to make way for insatiable human expansion, Isidor and his pack are forced to make impossible decisions. Do they retreat to better their chances of survival, or risk everything by joining a resistance of rogue animals to protect what’s left of their homeland?
In this gripping drama, Colin Wolf weaves a powerful allegory through the lives of animals, paralleling the displacement of Métis people and the enduring struggle for Indigenous land rights on Turtle Island. CoyWolf is a hopepunk thriller and a roadmap for young revolutionaries navigating the realities of resistance, doing your best, and learning the wisdom of those who have walked the path before.
CoyWolf premiered at the Guild Hall in Whitehorse, Yukon in 2023. Proudly the first show in GTNT’s 2025/2026 Season and filled with local, Saskatoon-based talent, this is one thriller you will not want to miss.
