A theatre company founded in the Tri-Cities will mount its annual production of short plays at the Firehall Arts Centre in Vancouver next week.
Shift Theatre — a troupe headed up by artistic director Nicole Roberge, the drama teacher at Riverside secondary school in Port Coquitlam — will present its 1-Act Festival from May 26 to 28.
Four short, original plays by female playwright/performers will be highlighted: Swan Song by Stephanie Izsak, Almost a Stepmom by Keara Barnes, Fall-Out Picnic by Milly Mumford and Dream Interlude by Bailey Soleil Creed.
As well, on May 28, there will be musical guests, a workshop and a reading of new plays; partial proceeds from the event will support the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre.
