I missed out but you need not - Up Island at the Arts Club Theatre

(Vancouver, BC) - My friend, I AM IAN, saw this production after work at its premiere and reported back to me that it was a 'broad comedy' and that he enjoyed his evening immensely. I however lost out on my tickets as I was immersed in work-related struggles. Socrates said, 'my most valuable possession is my leisure'. I concur. Go see Up Island.



UP ISLAND
WORLD PREMIERE
A quirky new comedy

BY DAVID KING
STARRING NICOLA CAVENDISH
DIRECTOR JOHN COOPER
DESIGN TEAM TED ROBERTS, MARSHA SIBTHORPE

JANUARY 25 – FEBRUARY 25, 2007 | STANLEY INDUSTRIAL ALLIANCE STAGE

“Most people stop at Port Hardy…. After that, they say it’s just hermits and fog.”

The charismatic Nicola Cavendish returns to the Arts Club in the premiere of a delightful comedy set on Vancouver Island, way up island. Meet Tory Jean, Rocky, Lorraine, Herb, and a host of eccentric characters who gather for clams and Lucky beer—and unwittingly celebrate the end of one relationship and the blossoming of another. With humour and warmth, Up Island highlights the importance of friends and neighbours in uncertain times.
