The Other Car
The Other Car is born!
The public reading and workshop on March 22nd, 2026 was a huge success and we here at Falling Iguana Theatre couldn't be happier!
The evening began with a movement workshop facilitated by FIT Co-ad Alexa Higgins, (with a little help from Ian, too) and introduced the participants to the early methods that we use to create our work. We built character bodies, created movement phrases from artwork and text, and had a great time!
​
After that we invited the sold out (!) audience to come, grab a drink at Society Clubhouse's great bar, and hear the first public reading of The Other Car! The actors did an amazing job and Ian and Alexa couldn't be prouder of this play's first cast.
​
The Other Car has just been taken for a test drive, and many more things are in store.
Thank you so, so much to everyone who came out to hear it.
Our amazing readers were: ​
Blake Pyne, Kelly Van der Burg, Elif Coskun, Brianna Roett, Matthew Chiasson, Kailea Banka, and Zach Parsons.

About The Other Car
Falling Iguana Theatre's fourth original production.
Written by Ian Ottis Goff and Alexa Higgins, The Other Car follows six close friends who, during a birthday party, decide to go driving to their favourite nightswimming spot. Two cars leave the cottage for the late-night swim. Only one car returns. The Other Car is an exploration of modern friendship, the many manifestations of grief, and loss, and it is simultaneously extremely weird, funny, and hopeful - the mirror flip of what it is to have and lose a friend. The play follows a nonlinear magical realist path (surprise surprise), and explores the lives of the characters before, during the fateful night, and afterwards, as they each try to make sense of what happened. The friends in the other car, the one that did not crash, all share a loss that forever changes them, though in different ways.
