SUMMARY:A Doll's House
DESCRIPTION:A seemingly perfect life unravels as Nora\, a charming wife and mother\, grapples with a shocking secret. Hidden debts and societal expectations force her to confront a harsh truth—she’s been living in a carefully crafted dollhouse\, yearning for freedom. In a daring move that shakes the very foundation of her world\, Nora makes a choice that will change everything. \nUpon its debut in 1879\, Ibsen’s play quickly generated both acclaim and controversy as one of the first dramatic works to meaningfully address several taboo subjects. Nearly 150 years later\, acclaimed playwright Amy Herzog brings relevance to a story that astonished audiences and brought forth a new era of theatre with a thrilling and compact contemporary adaptation.

SUMMARY:GOD THE DAUGHTER/The Vancouver Fringe Festival
DESCRIPTION:Who’s got time to save mankind? Not GOD THE DAUGHTER; she’s too busy saving herself from the Catholic Church and a world view where girls can only dream of having the top job! \nThis mostly true\, autobiographical tale follows our hero/heroine from being ‘The Second Coming’ to exploring the ins and outs of life as a nun to losing her faith. Making sense of this religion is no easy task! But all is not lost … because as a Catholic in training\, you learn a lot and as it turns out\, it’s not ALL negative. Expect miracles\, laughter\, and just enough accordion to make you glad you came. \n

SUMMARY:The Play That Goes Wrong
DESCRIPTION:Black Box Theatre Co. is bringing THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG to the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island in Vancouver\, BC from August 13 to 30\, 2025. This brilliant piece of theatre blends farce and physical comedy with a good old murder mystery. It’s like Agatha Christie meets Monty Python. \nThe story takes place on the opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s production of The Murder at Haversham Manor – a 1920s large cast murder mystery play\, similar to The Mousetrap. Unfortunately for the cast\, but to the delight of audiences\, the Cornley Drama Society is renowned for overestimating their abilities and for enduring mishaps during their productions\, and we soon find out this performance is no different. \nIf you’re looking for a fun night out this summer for friends\, family\, out-of-towners\, a date\, or just for yourself\, look no further than THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG on Granville Island. Or\, as we’re calling it\, Granville Island Goes Wrong. Recommended for ages 8+. \nThis award-winning play was written by Henry Lewis\, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields of Mischief Theatre Company and was first produced in London\, England in 2012. It’s currently enjoying long-running\, successful productions both in London and on Broadway in New York City\, and it is regularly produced by theatre companies all around the world to audiences who just can’t get enough of it. Get your tickets now!
