SCRUPULOSITY
by Andrew Bailey
Best Solo Show, Victoria Fringe Festival 2005. "It's more than pretty good, it's pretty good plus one." -- TJ Dawe. A comic drama about religious obsession which has "the power to make modern audiences squirm -- squirming that is brilliantly relieved by Bailey's witty, funny performance." -- Victoria News. A play about keeping your faith without losing your mind.
Venue: Studio 16
Sep 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, 17
A friend emailed me: "Just saw SCRUPULOSITY at the Fringe. I think it's excellent. Very funny, moving at times, and a smart exploration of faith."
KING DAVID UNVARNISHED
Eastside Story Guild
Venue: Grandview Calvary Baptist Church (1803 E 1st Ave)
An intergenerational cast of dozens presents the life of King David in operatic spectacle. Special feature: authentic Yaqui dancing that evokes the spirit of God. Eight scenes include the toppling of Dagon, the slaying of Goliath, and David's pursuit of Bathsheba. Eastside Story Guild has been going for eight years. If Cecil B. DeMille could have a stage in East Vancouver, this is what you'd get!
