We’re already almost a week into April & I am in the midst of tech for Pacific Theatre‘s Refuge of Lies (which opens this Friday and you should definitely check out). All of the Ccultural Olympiad events are over now and April is a little bit slower as the city gears up for the spring/summer. Here are [...]

Hive 3
It’s opening night for Hive 3. I’m sitting in the warehouse at Great Northern Way right now typing this as I wait for the rest of our crew to arrive for the final preparations. Other companies are lounging on couches or huddled in their rooms. There is music playing. The party atmosphere is already apparent. And [...]
Three to See :: March 2010
The Olympics may have ended last night (or early this morning depending on which party you were at), but the Paralympics are less than two weeks away and the Cultural Olympiad is still out in full force. Add to that, all the companies that were reluctant to run shows during the Olympics have shows opening soon. What [...]
Three to See: February 2010
February 2010 will forever be known as the month the Olympics came to Vancouver. With that in mind it is no surprise that there are a number of “big” shows in town while many of the smaller companies have gone dark for the month. But in the midst of the sport frenzy be sure to [...]
3 To See: PuSh Festival
Two day ago was the official opening for Vancouver’s PuSh Festival, but I’m running a little behind (Sorry!). The PuSh Festival is one of my favourite yearly events because of the high caliber & variety of artistic performances that they bring to town. I also volunteer with them – this is my third or fourth year doing [...]

I’m changing things up a bit. I figured it’s a new year, so I might as well. The first change is right here. Instead of what I have done for the past year where I list all the shows I want to see in a given month I am going to list the three shows [...]
What I Saw :: November
November. Not only did I open The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe at PT & then spend an additional week prepping the understudies and opening their version of the show for school matinees. I also managed to see 10 shows. Here’s the list: Master Builder (UBC) Joseph & The Amazing Technicolour DreamCoat (Footlights Theatre [...]
Lois’ November Theatre Picks
It’s nearly the end of November, and only now am I finding time to sit down and write out my theatrical picks for the month. Sadly some great shows have already closed (ie: The Project presented by Solo Collective), but there are still lots of shows playing now or opening in the next week that [...]
October’s Theatre Adventures
October was a busy month for me theatrically. The month began with Frozen, I had the run of Memory in the middle of the month, and have spent the past week in rehearsals for The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe. And somewhere in there I found time to see ten shows and take a [...]
