SUMMARY:Dial M for Murder
DESCRIPTION:When Tony learns of his wife Margot’s affair\, his jealousy takes a lethal turn. He concocts the perfect murder\, devises an alibi\, and waits to strike. Tension builds as Tony\, Margot\, her lover\, and a mysterious figure from the past become ensnared in a high-stakes maze of deception\, blackmail\, and betrayal. This intense drama will have you waiting with bated breath and wondering: Will he get away with it? \nHatcher’s adaptation brings a modern sensibility to the well-known thriller\, sharpening the gripping stakes while honouring the twists and turns that have made the play a classic. The result is a fast-paced\, dialogue-driven suspenseful story that explores power\, control\, and the consequences of underestimating those around you. As secrets surface and loyalties shift\, Dial M for Murder becomes a taut game of cat-and-mouse\, keeping audiences guessing until the final moments.

We recommend only those who 13+ attend. Viewer discretion is advised.

SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Tania Willard: Photolithics
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Tania Willard: Photolithics from March 7–May 24\, 2026. The exhibition is Willard’s first since winning the 2025 Sobey Art Award — Canada’s biggest contemporary art prize — and is her largest solo show to date. Photolithics\, a portmanteau of ancient words for “light” and “stone\,” highlights Willard’s evolving photographic practice\, in which the sun and the land play a vital role beyond the surveillance or spectacle of nature. For The Polygon\, she devises a distinctive treatment for the gallery’s windows based on her research into Salish basketry. Passing through patterns of cedar root\, the sun’s rays cast a warm protective glow\, or “safelight\,” on all the works in the gallery and the people coming to witness. Other works in the 10-year survey include “Only Available Light” (2016)\, which is being presented inside a purpose-built c7ískten̓ (kekuli or underground pit house)\, “Anthro(a)pologizing” (2018)\, “Vestige” (2022)\, and more. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.

SUMMARY:Empire of AI: Karen Hao in Conversation with Naomi Klein
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this timely talk where acclaimed author and journalist Karen Hao lays out the stakes of the most consequential tech arms race in history—and the role we all can play to ensure that AI benefits everyone. \nAI is transforming the world at breakneck speed and concentrating extraordinary power in the hands of a few. In the New York Times bestseller Empire of AI\, Silicon Valley engineer-turned-journalist Karen Hao draws from years of rare insider access to OpenAI and reporting across five continents. She offers a gripping look at how the accelerating AI revolution is reshaping society and concentrating economic and political power in the hands of a few companies. “The way we develop technology is now fundamentally broken\,” Hao says. “But I truly believe that we can fix it.” \nNamed one of TIME’s 100 most influential people in AI for “fundamentally shaping many people’s perceptions and understanding of the company at the center of the AI revolution\,” Hao’s work is a brilliant and deeply necessary look at the industry defining our era and what the future holds. \nFor this urgent conversation\, Hao will be joined by Naomi Klein\, the award-winning author of international bestsellers including This Changes Everything\, The Shock Doctrine\, No Logo\, and Doppelganger. Klein is an associate professor in UBC’s department of geography\, founding codirector of the Centre for Climate Justice\, and a columnist for The Guardian.
