Want to have a greater understanding of what life will be like as a senior, want to gain greater empathy towards the largest growing demographic of our society. Don’t miss View From a Window. View From a Window is an original one-act theatre performance that has come out of a multi-year, multi-phase process: from gathering stories and experiences during the workshop phase, to a tour through seniors’ organizations and care homes, to a Metro Vancouver tour. View From a Window explores what life is like for seniors in today’s age of social media and instant gratification in order to recognize and strengthen the role of seniors in our communities, and celebrate our community’s senior population.

Bed & Breakfast
A charming comedy about being out and finding home
By Mark Crawford

When Brett inherits a family estate, he and his partner, Drew, move to a quiet little tourist town to set up a B&B. But will these big city boys face friction in their new community? With dozens of hilarious characters all portrayed by two actors, it’s a heartfelt comedy about “being out,” skeletons in the closet, and finding a place to call home.
