THE PREVIEW PERFORMANCE IS HAPPENING ON JANUARY 16TH AT MAINLINE THEATRE. Tickets for the preview will go live a week in advance.

For some, every ordinary day is a fight for survival, justice, and belonging.

In The Cost of Living, The Jess-ter draws you in as performers bring to life a trial about land, power, and ethics. As the scales of justice—both literal and metaphorical—tip and turn, the story expands to confront urgent questions about indigeneity, immigration, and the cost of existence in a colonial world.

This bold collective creation weaves personal stories with inventive theatricality, placing the audience in the jury box to weigh testimonies that transcend borders and binaries. Created by a collective of emerging artists, the show delivers searing honesty, radical care, and unapologetic humor; a must-see for those seeking theatre that disrupts, provokes, and inspires action.
