2011.9.15. Border Songs @Boot-it

Book-It Repertory Theatre stages Jim Lynch's 2009 book Border Songs. The story of a young big (230lb + 6'6") border patrol who's borderline autistic, with a talent for animals especially birds, in a border town between WA and BC, where the Canadians were enjoying and some cultivating cannabis, and the American dairy farmers were having trouble with inferior feeds due to lack of money. Many issues were weaved into the story. Well acted (especially the woman cop, and mad Canadian professor). Simple stage.

This is the 2nd PWYC preview of this performance. I'm sad to see that the small theater was not even full.
