The Other Car

We here at Falling Iguana Theatre wanted to share what we’ve been working on this winter! We’re deep into the development of our fourth original production entitled The Other Car. 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.

We will have a public reading of The Other Car in Toronto most likely in March 2026, and we’d love for you to join us to hear the first read of our newest project! As our work is always highly physical, we have some Big Movement Plans (™) for this one too!

We also plan to pair the night of the reading with a movement workshop to introduce a bit about how we build our movement for our productions. It’ll be fun, affordable, with no experience required - if this possibility is of any interest to you, sound off below (or drop us a line)!

Stay tuned for more info on the reading and workshop and what’s next for The Other Car!

Now we’ve gotta go finish this thing.
