the Edward Curtis Project - Third Street Theatre Series
A World Premiere Presented with Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad, and PuSh International Performing Arts Festival
January 21-31 @ 8pm Tues - Sat and 4pm Sat,
2pm on Sun
Depressed and estranged from her family, a Métis journalist named Angeline finds herself slipping from existence – a situation mirrored in a turn-of-the-century book she finds called The Vanishing Indian. In The Edward Curtis Project, Angeline finds herself face-to-face with the controversial photographer obsessed with capturing the Indian way of life he thought was dying out. The juxtaposition of Curtis’s romantic photos with today’s realistic renderings challenges them both to face the cost of seeing.

Sea Theatre presents Plan B by Governor General Award winner Michael Healey
“...tear inducingly funny.” The Globe and Mail
High-level meetings to negotiate the departure of Québec from Canada are charged by personal impulses toward seduction and betrayal, union and division, intimacy and distance. The action takes place in a hotel bedroom and a boardroom - a private space and a public space. Music, humour, sex and politics are the key metaphors in this truly Canadian farce.
“...Michael Healey has created a hard-edged but hilarious political satire...It’s essential theatre...” Maclean’s
