Brit’s Picks Dec. 17 – 24
Leave it to Weavers
Thurs. & Fri.
YouTube & Facebook
It’s a tale of a family reunited after not seeing each other for a while. The siblings get together at the family home on the rez to discuss some very important news. All is calm until they hear the pitter patter of hooves on the roof. Leave it to Weavers is a brand-new comedy from Gordon Tootoosis Nīkānīwin Theatre and although the original performance in front of a live audience at the Broadway Theatre couldn’t happen, the show must go on. GTNT is broadcasting the performance this week at 7:30p.m. on its Facebook and YouTube channels free of charge.
