Beach resident Dani Kind co-stars in The Coal Mine Theatre production of The River, on now until Nov. 22.
Kind has performed on stage and screen, including theatre productions of Laws of Motion, Diving Normal, Fat Pig, and The Crucible. On the small and big screens, her credits include Saving Hope, Cracked, Murdoch Mysteries and The Good Witch’s Fate.
The River is set in a remote fishing cabin. The Man (David Ferry) invites The Woman (Jane Spidell) to the cabin, but she goes missing. Kind, starring as The Other Woman, rounds out the cast as the story, starting out as a romance, evolves into a mystery.
The show runs Tuesday to Sunday at 7:30 p.m., closing on Sunday, November 22. Tickets are $35, available online. The Coal Mine’s temporary location is 982 Danforth Ave., just west of Donlands.
