You’re going to die.*

The owl cries out in the depths of the inkwell night. The moon is kept prisoner behind the thunderous clouds. From deep within a mossy mausoleum of crumbling stone something ancient stirs. The Augur has awoken. So HARK! Look to the birds and journey deep within the den of the osseous oracle to have your future divined- if you dare.


The Unnatural Disaster Theatre Co. presents “The Augur” - a macabre fortune telling puppetry experience. Audiences enter the den of this ancient divinatory to have their fates foretold by the birds in this unforgettable improvised dark comedy. After slumbering for thousands of years, The Augur is a misanthropic and ornery oracle with a penchant for ornithological oration and being the bearer of bad news. This intimate performance fuses puppetry, improv, and the occult.


Just as no two mortal spirits are identical- no two performances are the same!


Since 2023 “The Augur” has been performed across Canada to much acclaim from audiences:


“...𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐃 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞!”


“...𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦…”
