My Mother’s Story: North Vancouver
Co-production with Presentation House Theatre in North Vancouver.
We are gathering stories about the mothers of women living in North Vancouver and will choose NINE of them to form into a play that will tell the story of where this community comes from. This play will be performed by professional actors at Presentation House Theatre in March 2012.
A FREE Demonstration Show of how this works will be on Saturday June 25 @ 8pm at Presentation House Theatre, 333 Chesterfield Ave (@3rd Ave), North Vancouver (just up the hill from the Seabus). Featured will be readings of full stories by some of the original actors (Part One) and a Story of Six, a shorter version of the unique show we’ve created before that collages many mother stories at the same time (Part Two). The new play we will create (Part Three) will be an even more theatrical rendition of the mother stories submitted. Tickets are free but it’s recommended that you reserve a space by calling 604.990.3474.
If you are a resident of North Vancouver City or District and want to submit your story for consideration, please go to Presentation House Theatre. If you want to know more about this project see our North Vancouver page here or sign up for our newsletter and we will tell you what happens next.
