SUMMARY:Pippin the Musical
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of ‘spectacle and unease’ with Play On Words Productions’ gritty reimagining of Stephen Schwartz’ Pippin\, February 26th-March 7th at the Jericho Arts Centre \nSet inside a decaying nightclub suspended between life and death\, Pippin is the story of one young man’s search for the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of battle\, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power. Dark\, raw\, and reckless\, this production is a haunting exploration of purpose and desire\, leaving the audience to wonder: would they choose the fire\, or walk away? \nCONTENT ADVISORY: This show includes mature themes\, sexual suggestion\, dramatized violence\, and sensory elements (lighting and sound). We recommend only those who 13+ attend. Viewer discretion is advised.

SUMMARY:Agatha's Almanac Screening (VIFF Centre)
DESCRIPTION:The world may be racing forward\, but 90-year-old Agatha Bock is rooted in another rhythm that is grounded in heirloom seeds\, esoteric rituals\, and the meditative magic of living deliberately. \nAgatha’s Almanac is the latest immersive work from acclaimed multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker Amalie Atkins\, whose poetic sensibility elevates this documentary into a deeply textured cinematic experience. \nShot over six years by an all-woman crew on 16mm film\, Agatha’s Almanac quietly observes Agatha tending her ancestral Manitoba farm without a car\, cell phone\, or even running water. Her days are devoted to cultivating watermelon\, beans\, herbs\, and flowers\, and all entirely by hand. \nFor time go to website https://viff.org/

SUMMARY:Chelsey Grewar: The Wannabe Cowgirl Tour
DESCRIPTION:Chelsey Grewar is saddling up and taking herself on a stand-up tour through the wild west of Canada with The Wannabe Cowgirl Tour visiting Vancouver’s Little Mountain Gallery on April 10\, Calgary’s The Attic Bar & Stage on April 15\, and Edmonton’s Grindstone Theatre on April 18. With charm\, relatability\, and a bit of chaos\, Chelsey Grewar captivates audiences with self-deprecating jokes that feel like your bestie oversharing (in a good way). \nThe Wannabe Cowgirl Tour\, which received a 2025 CANCOM Comedy Grant from the Foundation of Canadian Comedy\, will put Chelsey’s prairie influenced comedy to the test where the real cowgirlies are. Chelsey is a rising star in Toronto’s comedy scene\, known for her storytelling and observational comedy such as revealing why being a twin isn’t always fun\, especially when you’re the weird one. Her comedy explores feminism\, generational divides\, sexuality\, navigating adult friendships\, bad luck with employment\, and – of course – horse girls.

SUMMARY:Erhu to Cantopop:  Five Thousand Springs of Chinese Sound

This immersive workshop explores the sounds and history of instruments such as the erhu\, pipa\, guzheng\, suona\, and sheng\, inviting audiences to experience the beauty\, depth\, and variety of Chinese music up close. \nInspired by the Dream Factory: Cantopop Mandopop 1980s to 2000s exhibition at the Chinese Canadian Museum\, the workshop also traces the path from traditional Chinese music to the rise of Cantopop.

It will be especially rewarding for composers interested in writing new music for Chinese instruments\, offering deeper insight into traditional Chinese musical aesthetics\, instrumental colour\, and creative possibilities for new composition. \nThe workshop also connects to VCME’s third Composer Commission Project\, which will support the creation of new works for Chinese instruments by selected composers from across Canada. \nMore info on the workshop: www.chinesemusicvancouver.com/erhu-to-cantopop
