SUMMARY:Happy Valley
DESCRIPTION:The Firehall closes its 2022-23 season with the world premiere of rice & beans theatre’s Happy Valley from Thursday\, May 25 to Sunday\, June 4. \nConceived and performed by Sydney Risk Award-winning playwright Derek Chan 陳嘉昊\, Happy Valley is a solo\, interdisciplinary performance. Through text\, song\, multimedia and music\, Happy Valley is a new performance piece that dissects the historic\, political\, and cultural context surrounding Hong Kong’s current democratic struggles. Named after the historic race course that hosted the (in)famous Concert for Democracy in China back in 1989\, almost exactly one week before the Tiananmen Massacre\, Happy Valley is a follow-up to Derek Chan’s 2021 yellow objects theatrical installation at the Firehall Arts Centre. \nMainland China promised Hong Kong a high level of autonomy and the right to self-determination back in the ‘80s\, in preparation for the 1997 Handover from British colonization. It has been almost 25 years since Chris Patten and his family tearfully waved Hong Kong goodbye at Victoria Harbour. It has been 3 years since the first yellow raincoat drifted from the sky at Pacific Place. And it has been never since the people of Hong Kong had any agency over their fate. Fast forward to 2023: everything that has happened since is in danger of having never happened at all. To us\, democracy is a luxury. \nHappy Valley remembers everything. But what will you remember of Hong Kong in 50 years? Meet ‘Uncle Chan’. Will he ever be able to go home? In English\, Cantonese\, and memoriam. He’ll give that a go. \nMay 25 – June 4 | Firehall Arts Centre| 280 E. Cordova \nOpening Night: Saturday\, May 27 at 7:30pm \nPreviews: Thursday\, May 25 & Friday\, May 26 at 7:30pm \nPerformance Times: Tuesday-Saturday\, 7:30pm | Saturday & Sunday\, 3:00pm | PWYC on Tuesday at 7:30pm & Wednesday at 1:00pm \nTickets: From $25 at firehallartscentre.ca | 604.689.0926 \nPost Show Talkbacks: Thursday\, June 1st

SUMMARY:Tall Tales: The Quest Is Up To You!
DESCRIPTION:The Improv Centre (TIC) on Granville Island is pleased to announce its family-friendly summer show\, Tall Tales: The Quest Is Up To You!\, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm from June 30 to August 19\, with a special opening night on Thursday\, June 29 at 7:30pm and an additional Canada Day long weekend performance on Sunday\, July 2 at 7:30pm. \nTickets start at $26.50 and are available online at www.theimprovcentre.ca or in person at the TIC Box Office (1502 Duranleau Street). Tickets for opening night (June 29) will be priced at $15. \nJoin our hero on a fantastical journey where the audience is the author. Inspired by fantasy fan favourites like The Princess Bride\, Labyrinth and Lord of the Rings\, Tall Tales: The Quest Is Up To You! will whisk audiences off to a faraway land where laughs and larks abound. What happens along the way? It’s up to YOU! \nTIC ensemble member and creator of Tall Tales: The Quest Is Up To You!\, Mary Saunders\, says “There’s something very appealing about a classic story arc to me\, and fantasy tales are a really fun\, limitless way to explore that. I wanted the format to reflect some predictable and nostalgic elements of storytelling while still being unpredictable in nature as well as rich and diverse in content. It has been exciting figuring out how to create a form that can both reflect those fantasy storytelling elements while being fresh each time. I’m looking forward to our ensemble getting the time and space allowed by long form to explore character arcs more extensively and dive into the richness of the world we build based on unique suggestions from our audience.” \nFor more information on The Improv Centre\, please visit www.theimprovcentre.ca
