Written, directed and composed by Jonathan Christenson, Fortune Falls is the allegorical tale of the rise, fall and reinvention of a prosperous town, once home to the world’s largest candy factory. One shocking day the factory is closed, leaving one lonely man to guard the abandoned factory and a community to contemplate endings and new beginnings.

Vigilante, initially developed at Keyano Theatre (Fort McMurray) and premiered in March of 2015 as a Citadel Theatre commission, will travel to three Canadian cities. The Grand Theatre in London, Ontario, presents Vigilante as a special add-on to its Main Stage season following which Catalyst will make its third visit to Persephone Theatre’s Main Stage series in Saskatoon’s.
