Finalist for the Jessie Richardson Theatre Award for Outstanding Original Music
Hunter of Peace is inspired by the real-life adventures of turn-of-the-century botanist and explorer Mary Schaffer Warren who, in 1907, led a dangerous expedition to the headwaters of the Athabasca River, then married a much younger man and settled in Banff. A celebration of the courage and spirit of a very remarkable woman.
