SUMMARY:Frog Belly Rat Bone
DESCRIPTION:Anvil Theatre is pleased to present Frog Belly Rat Bone on Friday\, March 8 at 1:00pm and Sunday\, March 9 at 3:00pm. Both shows will be followed by a Q&A with the performers. \nIncorporating beautifully handcrafted puppets and an original pop/rock musical score\, ‘Cementland’ comes to life as two enigmatic garbage collectors tell the story of a very special boy whose singular wish is to find a treasure. One day\, the boy discovers a rusty tin box packed with colourful envelopes and an old wrinkled note: “Put my wondrous riches into the earth and enjoy.” So the boy opens the envelope and tosses the contents – “hundreds of tiny gray specks” – onto the ground. Nothing happens. But night will come and the specks must be protected from junkyard thieves so the boy invents a guard…”he gathers wet smelly socks\, moldy old pillow stuffing and scraggly wire bringing his creation\, Frog Belly Rat Bone\, to life.” Frog Belly isn’t the sharpest or the quietest\, but it works. In time\, ‘Cementland’ blooms with beautiful flowers and delicious vegetables\, and the junk pile of dark grays yields to an explosion of colour. With some strategy\, strong communication\, a lot of patience and goodwill\, we can all grow wondrous riches\, transforming dark surroundings into something beautiful. \nTickets for Frog Belly Rat Bone range in price from $11.50 to $21.50 and are available online at www.ticketsnw.ca or by phone at 604.521.5050. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Bunny
DESCRIPTION:Anvil Theatre is thrilled to present Hannah Moscovitch’s Bunny from Thursday\, February 8 to Sunday\, February 18\, 2024. \nMoving from object towards agent\, ‘Sorrel’ (Emma Slipp) discovers the power of her own desire. Armed only with Victorian Literature and an unconventional upbringing\, she struggles to find her way. With Bunny\, Moscovitch dives into societal inhibitions\, desire\, and sex. \n“In most love stories\, a man is pursuing a woman who is hesitating\,” says Moscovitch. “In that structure\, the man is the protagonist and the woman is the antagonist. We have two thousand years of that. Bunny is a whole rewriting of the structure.” \nFirst produced at The Cultch in 2022 by Mindy Parfitt’s The Search Party\, Bunny received eight Jessie Richardson Theatre Award nominations and won four\, including Best Production and Best Performance by a Leading Actor. \nFebruary 8-18\, 2024 | Anvil Theatre | 777 Columbia Street\, New Westminster \nOpening Night: Friday\, February 9 at 7:30pm \nPreview: Thursday\, February 8 at 7:30pm \nPerformance Times: February 10\, 11\, 15\, 16\, & 17 at 7:30pm \nMatinees: February 10\, 17\, & 18 at 2:00pm \nTickets: $36.50 – $46.50 at ticketsnw.ca or 604.521.5050 \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Shield Maiden
DESCRIPTION:Funny. Sexy. Fierce. Unapologetic! Anvil Theatre is thrilled to present Shield Maiden on Saturday\, December 16 from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. This presentation will be performed alongside an ASL interpreter. \nImagine a 10th century Viking TED Talk on what it means to be a Viking warrior woman. As Garrison Commander Ingrid Larsdottir comedically endeavours to engage new recruits\, she inadvertently reveals her own tragic and violent personal history. Watching her struggle with her trauma is unsettling. Witnessing her tap into her inner strength is inspiring. Ingrid’s clarion call for equality and new recruits prevails! She empowers women to reclaim the warrior archetype in our modern world. \nWritten and performed by Melanie Teichroeb\, this modern feminist story uses a character from the past to expose the reality that not enough has changed in the treatment of women since the time of Vikings…one thousand years ago. Shield Maiden challenges untruths about women and gendered expectations\, and is based on a historical character who history hellishly gaslighted. \nTickets range in price from $36.50 to $46.50 and are available online at www.ticketsnw.ca or by phone at 604.521.5050. \n\n\n	Related
