The UBC Players Club is proud to announce our co-production of Dear Elizabeth, a Vancouver Fringe Festival Production with Wunderdog Theatre!
Integrating new technology with traditional theatrical conventions, Wunderdog Theatre is a Canadian theatre company that explores new ways to tell classic and critically acclaimed stories, examining the way we consume narrative in a digital era. Comprised of recent graduates from Vancouver theatre programs, Wunderdog Theatre has strong mandate to provide creative opportunities for emerging artists of all persuasions.
“Vagrant Players Theatre Society presents a one act comedy about the politics of friendship.
Washington DC twenty-somethings Stu and Ben are bored, stoned, and spending another night inexpertly dissecting senatorial vote-trading when a parking ticket sends Stu over the edge. As he plots to rid America of political misbehaviour once and for all, Ben begins to wonder if his friend’s vitriol stems from problems closer to home.”
“Yungerberg’s play is bitterly funny […] a vivid portrait of a couple of post-collegiate twenty-somethings battling their feelings of powerlessness by railing at nothing.”
– Kurt Gardner, Hollywood Fringe
Directed by Cody Kearsley and Megan Peta Hill. Featuring Brad Bergeron, Carson Bokenfohr, Arthur MacKinnon, Megan Peta Hill, and Julia Lank.
Set Design by Mariana Munoz. Lighting Design by Keagan Elrick. Stage Management by Fiona Govin.
Kill All Politicians by Thomas Yungerberg is running at the Pacific theatre June 20th-23rd. Wednesday – Friday at 8 pm and Saturday 2pm, 5pm, and 8pm.
An upcoming Vancouver Fringe Festival show, The Bridge, is looking for a Stage Manager! The show was most recently toured in Australia by the writers/actors Caitlin Docking and Nick Rinke, two local Vancouver theatre artists. Their original stage manager is living in Australia and they need someone to fill in for their Fringe run in September.
The Vancouver Fringe is an amazing opportunity to meet other theatre artists, see lots of free shows (all cast and crew get free passes) and learn how to put a Fringe show together. It’s a great experience for an emerging artist.
Rehearsals for the show will start in August and there are six performances in early September. The stage manager would get a share of the ticket profits and a free pass to the fringe festival.
We have some crew opportunity from PC Alumni! Here’s what he has to say:
“This is a non-traditional immersive theatre production happening in Bear Creek Park, Surrey. Based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Slumber Here places audience in the role of the humans lost in a fairy court, interacting with a unique video-game inspired quest design.
We need two to three crew members to assist with the setup, reset, and breakdown of our outdoor set decoration and props. The show runs June 20th-23rd in the evening, with key rehearsals Sunday June 17th 2-6 and June 19th from 6pm.
Crew members will receive an honorarium for their work on this production. This show is a co-production between Geekenders Theatricals and Instant Theatre, presented by the Surrey Arts Centre.”
