Sage does a marvelous job as the lost soul looking for a home. Enhanced

There is certainly a place for overtly socially active theatre in Calgary, and Sage's program/ newsletter, which, for this production includes a social worker's perspective on violence and power issues, is a unique twist. On stage, however, you need a compelling story and a sympathetic (rather than simply pathetic) character or two in order to qualify as good theatre. Lion in the Streets doesn't do the job.
