Set in 1865, the inventory of bodies used for dissection at Queen's Medical School has become limited, because the local penitentiary's inmates are not dying at a rate that can supply demand. When the cemetary caretaker's daughter catches a desperate first year medical student attempting to rob one of the graves she strikes a deal: she will supply material and discretion, if he teaches her anatomy.
The Theatre Calgary Rehearsal Hall is accessible via the staircase inside the stage door entrance off of 9th Avenue SE.
