SOMEONE LIKE YOU
Best friends Isabelle (Steffanie Davis), verbose and open-hearted, and Kristin (Jasmine Chen), vulnerable and loyal, have been through thick and thin since university. When Isabelle takes her “wingman” duties for Kristin’s rebound romance with Harjit (Praneet Akilla) a bit too far, feelings and friendships are fraught with complications. A millennial take on the mistaken identities of Cyrano de Bergerac and set in East Vancouver, Someone Like You is first and foremost a comedy and a love story, featuring intensely relatable characters and scenarios.
Tickets start at $29.00 please call box office to book these seats

Welcome to Hair Hair everywhere, where we meet Shabnam’s head hair, armpit hair and leg hair!

FROM THIS SIDE OF THE END
Playwrights: Kate Besworth, Ming Hudson, Charlie Gallant, Kaitlin Yott, Olivia Hutt, Baraka Rahmani, Agnes Tong
From this Side of the End is a collaboratively-created play about four young people making their way across the Canadian landscape and facing almost every apocalyptic event possible (floods, fires, earthquakes, acid rain, zombies, etc) on their way to safety. The piece asks incisive questions about the world that they have left behind, and offers imaginings for what we can all,seek to create in our future world together. It is a sobering, candid, and hopeful look at starting again, especially the way in which community love plays a necessary part in the rebirth of our societies.

THE BAKING SHOW SHOW: THE PLAY
Playwright: Faly Mevamanana
Sugar. Salt. Sabotage.
Grace lives the perfect life, but something is missing. When her first attempt to claim the title of Great Canadian Baker fails, she spirals into obsession. Soon enough, she’s trapped in a pit of her own deception and turns to the one thing she has left…sabotage.
This satirical story examines what it is to have a ‘white whale’ in the era of social media and reality TV. It explores the price we pay for chasing idyllic dreams into obsession, and the harsh reality that the hardest worker is not always successful.

THE CONSENT CLUB
Playwright: Carmen Aguirre
Join us for a reading of the play "The Consent Club", an adaptation of Moliere's The Learned Ladies. Set on a North American university campus, this satire about zealotry, hypocritical puritanism, and sexual paranoia follows our horny heroine Anita as she tries to get laid at the height of the #MeToo movement. Told from the lens of a Latina socialist feminist who is a refugee and a survivor of childhood rape, this controversial and hilarious play takes on the essentialization of women as victims and men as predators.

GRANDMA. GANGSTA. GUERRILLA.
This ain’t a sob story about war crimes, dementia, nor getting old. It’s a sprint down the memory lane of a butt-kickin’, bar-spittin’, tough grandma who escapes the care home to be with her family. When our favorite Filipino grandma Lola Basyang goes missing, it’s up to her grandchildren Nika and Jun-jun to bring her back to safety. Using their lola’s unfinished memoir, they find clues to her whereabouts, her full-of-beans origin story and the historical turmoils of their motherland. Reminiscent of their immigration stories, they reflect on what it means to maintain family ties in a Western society.
All tickets $25.00
