Let's go to a show!

RIP! A Winkle in Time Conceived and written by KC Brown with the Rip! Creative Collective Directed by Wayne Specht & Kathryn Bracht Featuring Annette Devick Stefano Giulianetti Tara Travis Simon Webb

Ever feel as though you blinked for a moment and the world completely changed? Imagine the plight of Randall Irving Parson (Rip) whose mysterious encounter with a ghostly crew leads him to fall asleep – and stay frozen for over a century.  With global warming afoot, Rip finally thaws and finds himself in a world that staggers the imagination.  As Rip tries to catch up to the pace of change today, there are plenty of people trying to catch him too – all in the knockabout physical theatre style that Axis is famous for.

RIP! A Winkle in Time, is Axis’ first solo, adult mainstage creation in over 10 years and launches a new initiative to create adult mainstage productions for Axis’ touring repertoire.  Having officially retired the THE NUMBER 14 after 20 years this World Premiere will also mark the final big adventure for retiring Artistic Director Wayne Specht.  His body of work has encompassed the creation of over 55 original works, 16 Jessie Richardson Awards and has led Axis Theatre Company to be recognized as one of the most innovative physical theatre companies in the Canadian arts community for the past 38 years.

At The Waterfront Theatre
Granville Island, 1412 Cartwright Street

Grade 11 and 12's:  Lots of you said that one thing you'd like this year was to go to a play and I've always thought of doing it but you know what a whirl it is at school -- hard to work everything in.  Anyway, this sounds good -- it is suitable for adults and young adults (or older kids, like most of you) and there are matinees for schools on May 7 and 14 (and one on May 1, but we'll be doing "The Wars of 1812" then.)

I'm sure some of you have seen "The Number 14" which was about the Hastings Street bus.  What a terrific show that was!  Anyway, I'd be interested in feedback about the show if any of you have any thoughts.  It would be $15 per ticket and then we would have to pay for our transportation down to Granville Island.
