A Prayer for Owen Meany

At Pacific Theatre until February 9, 2019
Originally produced by Ensemble Theatre Company last summer at the Jericho Arts Centre, A Prayer for Owen Meany is being remounted as a guest production at Pacific Theatre where, because of the titular Owen Meany who believes God speaks through him, and Pacific Theatre’s mandate to produce theatre that ‘rigorously explores the spiritual aspects of human experience’, it’s a good fit.

Mrs. Krishnan’s Party

At The Cultch until February 3, 2019
Hands down, Mrs. Krishnan’s Party is the best-smelling show in town. Also the most fun.

The Full Light of Day

At The Vancouver Playhouse until January 12, 2019
Exposed to the scrutinizing light of the-day-after-opening-night, The Full Light of Day is still fabulous.
