Upintheair Theatre Presents Jarred Stephen Meek - Why Now Theatre Collective's

Grappling with the trauma of childhood abuse and the pressure of a life changing investigation, Gwen risks everything for the possibility of justice. Spanning 3 decades from the 70s through the 90s, and yet resonant in the wake of #MeToo,  A Life Sentence is a British Columbian story of real lived experiences and verbatim transcripts.
