There is an underground circus beneath the plaza downtown, a circus filled with colour and lights and life. Rachel has been missing for over a week, but when her best friend Vera finds her in this strange subterranean world, everything they know will be questioned. With the spirit of a big top circus and the heart of urban fantasy, Under the Plaza is a magical coming of age story that explores what it means to be lost and what it means to be found.

ABOUT THE LOCATION
You should be listening to this episode at Olympic Plaza, an urban park in downtown Calgary. It is located between MacLeod Trail SE and 7th Avenue SE. There’s an amphitheatre just to the west of the pool/skating rink, this is where the story begins.

We have a map of the location, as well as directions, on our website: www.theatrejupiter.com/explore-episode3

HINT: See if you can follow the storyteller as she moves along with the story.
