If a tree falls and no one saw or heard it fall, did it really fall? Lumber is a one person show performed by Colin Wolf. It follows Jack Bennet as he moves up north from Alberta to Yukon, after losing almost everything. From losing his job to his dog. Throughout having some relatable experiences that many can relate to since he had arrived in Yukon.

Colin Wolf’s performance was wonderful and filled with emotion. From the way he portrays the various characters through body language, voice and tone, it was brilliant! Wolf does an amazing job at executing this one person show, from the light-hearted comedic moments to the heartfelt moments that Jack has, especially the ending which was heartwarming.

The use of props was amazing, the props helped enhance the storytelling while also creating a couple of playful moments. With the limited number of props on the stage, Wolf does an incredible job of using them to help make the scenes come to life!

Lumber is filled with emotion with some comedic moments mixed in, as you watch Jack’s journey as he finds his purpose up north in Yukon.
