Crane Girl

Falling Iguana Theatre presents Crane Girl by Alexa Higgins (Best New Play Award Winner, Hamilton Fringe; one of Steel City Reviews’ 10 Best Productions of 2025), a fictionalized exploration (inspired by a real event) of what might cause a woman to freestyle climb a crane. It follows Jane, a woman who, having witnessed a tragic event, suddenly finds herself untethered. Jane can see no way out of the cage she has built around herself until she stops looking for a way out, and looks up. Crane Girl explores women’s bodies, societal constraints, and is an urgent rallying call to speak, to rage, and to climb towards a feminist future. This fast-paced, funny, and highly physical play takes place on a climbable structure, where our titular Crane Girl never touches the ground.

Performances take place in the Backspace at Theatre Passe Muraille, 16 Ryerson Avenue. Running time is approximately 90 minutes (estimated).
