  • Bard on the Beach Stage Prep

    I thought I would take a cruise by Vanier Park to see how the site prep is coming for this year’s Bard on the Beach. I was a little surprised to see how little has been done to prep the theatre up to this point. However, I also know that the crew who construct and…

  • Bard on the Beach Pre-Season Lectures at SFU Woodward’s

    If you are anything like me and have assumed that The War of the Roses was originally a movie starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner and not actually related in any way to Shakespeare’s Henry the VI, then this free lecture series is for you (and me). The first lecture features Bard on the Beach’s…

  • Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Coming to Chilliwack

    Seeing as I have never seen the musical Rent and seeing as it is playing in our local community theatre, the Coquitlam Evergreen Cultural Centre, I figure it is high time I saw Rent. And that is why tomorrow night at 7:30 I will be in the Evergreen watching Rent! The performance of Rent that…

  • Sunday Afternoon Family Series at the Evergreen Cultural Centre

    Since becoming a Papa I have discovered this entirely new world that exists parallel to the world that I previously resided in. The new world (not a brave new world but a new world nonetheless) is all the cool stuff that parents and kids can enjoy. The newest discovery (other than sleep, which I have recently…

  • Ali & Ali 7; Hey Brother (or Sister) Can You Spare Some Hope and Change? My Thoughts

    Last Tuesday I had the pleasure of going to the recently renovated Vancouver East Cultural Centre (the Cultch) Historic Theatre to see Ali & Ali 7; Hey Brother Can You Spare Some Hope and Change? And what a pleasurable and very thought-provoking experience it was. The premise of the 85 minute show is that the…
