Costume Renderings for THE WOODSMAN, April 3-26 at Pacific Theatre

Check out these tremendous costume renderings for Pacific Theatre's next show, THE WOODSMAN, playing April 3 (opens April 4) - 26. Costume design is by Krista Sung.

From the outside, Walter seems like the perfect neighbour – a calm and quiet man who keeps to himself. On the inside, he is a cyclone of frenzy and agitation. Walter is a pedophile, tormented incessantly by his proclivities. Temptation, that great architect of destruction, is an excruciating fiend that bars him from ever being normal. Shadowed by his parole officer, and estranged from his family, his main source of tranquility and support is Nikki, a co-worker, who sees the humanness behind the monster.

Starring Dirk van stralen, Rebecca de Boer, Michael Kopsa, and Camille Beaudoin. Directed by Morris Ertman.

Playing April 3-26 (opens April 4). For tickets ($16-$32, GST incl.) call 604.731.5518 or buy online pacifictheatre.org.

Walter, played by Dirk van stralen

Nikki, played by Rebecca deBoer

Apr 4: Merton Society poetry event VENUE CHANGE

Poetry event: change of venue!

Greetings everyone,

On Saturday I received a call (several actually) advising me that Saffron Fourth Avenue closed unexpectedly last week. Our event will now be at The Wired Monk which is located two blocks away at Fourth Avenue and Trafalgar. Please note the time change and the new flyer attached. Erica Mah, a young and very talented musician/singer/songwriter, will begin her set at 9 instead of 8 pm to accommodate us. So it's folk/funky music following the readings instead of jazz in between. The Wired Monk serves wine and beer and food. Check out their website at www.kitsmonk.com At this late date, I'm very grateful to The Wired Monk for accommodating us. It will be a fabulous event so please spread the word!

SOUNDS OF CONTEMPLATION

Join us for a café-style evening of music and poetry with poets Br. Paul Quenon, Susan McCaslin, Doug Beardsley and Sheila Rosen. Minimum donation: $5.

This is a Thomas Merton Society event. It should be an interesting evening. McCaslin, Beardsley and Rosen are BC poets. Brother Paul Quenon has been a monk for 50 years, and received his formation under Thomas Merton. He has published three collections of poems, Monkswear, Laughter My Purgatory, and Terrors of Paradise, and a CD of poetry Hooded Sentinels. He is cantor, cook, and photographer for his monastery, the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky.

Mar 19: Adam Bergquist in "5 Sides Of A Circle," St Paul's Anglican Church

This just in from Adam Bergquist, who you'll remember from CHICKENS, LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC, and the recent A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS...

Imagine you are a Christian living in the first century AD, some decades after Christ. Then a scroll shows up called "the Gospel of Christ". Then another and another, at least 4 of them over a period of many years which get read regularly. They're similar but not identical and in some places contradictory!
Now imagine you can get these 4 writers together in one room to see if they can sort out their differences. Can they come to some sort of agreement about which emphasis to follow? What is meant literally and what is symbolic? And can they stem the tides of conflict already growing amongst them?
Now imagine that I am one of the authors of the Gospel according to John.

If this sounds like an argument you'd like to hear. Come hear a staged reading of "5 Sides of a Circle" at St. Paul's Anglican Church (on Jervis 1/2 block north of Davie) this Wednesday at 8:00. Admission is free, the pews are wooden and sit near the front since we won't be miked and the acoustics are designed for choirs.

Mar 16: sheree plett, Backstage Lounge
