February 8-16 and March 27-30, 2002

“Every so often, a play comes along that speaks as much to adults as to the 13-to 18-year-old crowd. Yellow on Thursdays is such a play….”

“The way they portrayed teenage life was amazing. They showed how it is to try and find yourself sexually and in everyday life...I think this play is a play that everyone should see.”

“It had to do EXACTLY with what everyday teens have to put up with. A lot of confusion. The acting was excellent!”

A play about emerging sexuality and learning to be okay with who you are. Two teenage girls find their intimate friendship souring after a summer apart. Rebecca returns obsessed with boys and sex, while Katie’s discovering that she’s attracted to girls – maybe even to Rebecca.

Meanwhile, Rebecca hooks up with Mike, the hot new guy at school who’s secretly afraid she’ll find out he’s still a virgin. The trio muddle through their angst, insecurities and fears, moving towards acceptance of each other, and themselves.

Yellow on Thursdays premiered on February 8, 2002 at Wood Street School in Whitehorse, produced by Gwaandak Theatre and Nakai Theatre in partnership with Air North. It toured to Dawson City, Haines Junction and Inuvik, N.W.T. and was remounted in March at the Yukon Inn Fireside Room.
