PERMANENT
By Shawn C. Pederson

Alexandria returns home after an exhausting day at work to discover that her long time boyfriend, Josh, has invited their friends over for a party. This is his quick fix to the countless problems the couple has been having for the past few months. Little does anyone know, the secrets that are about to boil over as the night pulses on.

Get ready to laugh and cry as this bitter sweet comedy unravels and these best friends realize that "sometimes there's no going back."

All profits from this production will be donated to Covenant House Vancouver.

Blood.claat,
one ooman story

The Firehall welcomes back the gripping solo show, Blood.claat, one ooman story, which took Vancouver by storm during the 2008 Magnetic North Festival.Written and performed by d'bi young anitafrika, Blood.claat, is a story told through multiple generations in which rituals travel in symbolic cycles of scorn and celebration exposing rites in which all metaphors unite in the fluid of life.


 

'a gripping example of Canada's cultural mosaic is rich in stories that are first drawn from other places and then filtered through our amazing arts community."
Peter Birnie, Vancouver Sun
