The oceans have flooded the prairies and an old man and an old woman \u2013 played by fourteen-year-olds Lazlo Paradis and Iris James \u2013 live together in a lighthouse, surrounded by a sea that was once Saskatchewan. They\u2019ve been here one hundred years, ever since the flood washed away their homes and families and twelve kids escaped the destruction in a homemade boat. A century later, only two remain. With nothing but themselves and their memories for company, these two old friends go about their routine and reflect on their remarkable lives, preparing for another great change on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2014 BIOGRAPHY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/ent-nts.ca\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/judy-wensel-1512665429.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26386 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Judy Wensel (Directing, 2018)<\/strong> is a director, creator, performer and teaching artist based in Saskatchewan.
