What's On In The Cave Tonight: July 25th, 2012 | July 25th, 2012

Ah, it's a beautiful day in Vancouver. Why not check out the Neanderthal Arts Festival?

If you need some convincing, Comrade, you can read the Plank Magazine review of Tyumen, Then (pronounced like Two-Mein - in case you were wondering).

And there are reviews of both The List and House of X in Jo Ledingham's Vancouver Courier write-up.

So here's what's on tonight:

  • The List (Site-specific downstairs kitchen - 50 min)
    7:00 pm

I encourage you to consider seeing Tyumen, Then - it's our national show that came out from Toronto (and is quite a different style than shows created by Vancouver theatre artists). Many thanks to director Andrea Donaldson for bringing her crew out to Vancouver for the West Coast premiere!

Also, I want you to consider checking out House of X - it's a strange exploration of love and violence and relationships. Here's a short quote from one of the audience members at the Plank Magazine talk-back: "I think it's beautiful... that it's this combination of music, gobbledygook, language, poetry, dance...  to me, it was it."

Plank Talk: STATIONARY | July 24th, 2012

Plank is at Neanderthal Arts Festival 2012 and we sat down with the cast of the STATIONARY.

A Recession-Era Musical

Under the fluorescent lights of real life, obligations and social niceties loom large. But in the world of day-dreams, all things are possible. STATIONARY explores the lives of six young people at a moment when big dreams meet reality checks. It's a musical for the generation that has stepped out - bachelor degree in hand - to discover that the world isn't quite what they were promised it would be. It's for the generation that was coached to dream big, only to find there isn't enough room for everyone to be a winner. Real life is disappointing. Singing about it definitely takes the edge off.

"The music, the fresh harmonies, and the lyrics are terrific. Keep your eye on Delinquent Theatre." - Vancouver Courier

"[It's] laugh-out-loud funny... And they are right, some things are better with a ukulele." - gayvancouver.net
