SUMMARY:Broadway Across Canada's Come From Away
DESCRIPTION:The national tour of COME FROM AWAY\, a Broadway musical about the true story of the small town that welcomed the world\, will make its highly anticipated return to Vancouver for a limited engagement from September 10 to 15\, 2024\, at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.\n\n\nCOME FROM AWAY tells the remarkable true story of 7\,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed\, and nerves ran high\, but uneasiness turned into trust\, music soared into the night\, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.\n\n\nOn September 11\, 2001\, the world stopped. On September 12\, their stories moved us all.\n\n\nCharles McNulty of the Los Angeles Times called the show “An affecting\, stirring and unpretentious new musical.  Christopher Ashley’s production lets the simple goodness of ordinary people outshine sensational evil\,” and Bob Verini of Variety raved\, “Superb! Canadians Irene Sankoff and David Hein have forged a moving\, thoroughly entertaining tribute to international amity and the indomitable human spirit.”

SUMMARY:Integration: Creating Art from Life's Chaos
DESCRIPTION:I want to wander with you through the tangled mess of life and the art it births. We get to peel back the layers of an artist’s soul\, where every scar tells a story\, and every triumph feels hard-won. \nThis show does not shy away from the real stuff. We dive into the deep end of transformation—a wild ride from a retreat in Costa Rica to the heart-wrenching reality of saying goodbye to a beloved family member and a chance encounter in the vibrant chaos of New Orleans. These aren’t just stories; they’re the lifeblood of what it means to create when life itself is pulling you apart. \nArt rarely comes from a place of ease. It’s born from sleepless nights\, raw emotions\, and the relentless drive to make something beautiful out of chaos. We’ll explore how life’s darkest moments can spark the brightest creative fires and how an artist’s journey is a testament to persistence\, patience\, and pliability. \nIf you’re an artist\, a seeker\, or someone who lives for the unfiltered truths of life\, come with me. Let’s walk this path together\, finding meaning in the madness and beauty in the struggle. This is Integration. Welcome to the journey.

SUMMARY:Integration: Creating Art from Life's Chaos
DESCRIPTION:I want to wander with you through the tangled mess of life and the art it births. We get to peel back the layers of an artist’s soul\, where every scar tells a story\, and every triumph feels hard-won. \nThis show does not shy away from the real stuff. We dive into the deep end of transformation—a wild ride from a retreat in Costa Rica to the heart-wrenching reality of saying goodbye to a beloved family member and a chance encounter in the vibrant chaos of New Orleans. These aren’t just stories; they’re the lifeblood of what it means to create when life itself is pulling you apart. \nArt rarely comes from a place of ease. It’s born from sleepless nights\, raw emotions\, and the relentless drive to make something beautiful out of chaos. We’ll explore how life’s darkest moments can spark the brightest creative fires and how an artist’s journey is a testament to persistence\, patience\, and pliability. \nIf you’re an artist\, a seeker\, or someone who lives for the unfiltered truths of life\, come with me. Let’s walk this path together\, finding meaning in the madness and beauty in the struggle. This is Integration. Welcome to the journey.

DESCRIPTION:This full-length contemporary dance work from Montreal choreographer Johanne Gour is an absorbing meditation on our fickle physical body\, and the ways in which it works as we expect and ways in which it doesn’t.
