    100 SAINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW by Kate Fodor May 4-26

    Saints-Page-Web
    Pacific Theatre presents
    100 SAINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW -by Kate Fodor -May 4-26
    Then repent! Put your underwear on your head and say 11 Hail Marys!
    IN SHORT: Pacific Theatre presents Kate Fodor’s 100 Saints You Should Know, a biting and darkly humorous story of five souls attempting the simple task of living their lives and finding how un-simple that can be. Playing May 4-26 Wednesday – Saturday at 8pm with 2pm matinee on Saturday at Pacific Theatre, 1440 W 12th Ave. For tickets ($16.50-29.50 HST not incl.) call 604.731.5518 or pacifictheatre.org.
    Vancouver, BC – Oh, we of little faith. Meet Theresa, a former wild girl turned freelance maid who has been struck with the surprising desire to learn how to pray. She tries to learn how from Matthew, a faithful priest who has been struck with the realization that he is no longer able to pray, and so he runs to his long-suffering mother Colleen – a woman who can’t not be a hostess. Pack in Theresa’s daughter, Abby, a classic troubled teen whose motto seems to be apathy and shock value (no surprises there), and Garrett, the grocer’s son who likes long walks with a flask.
    Pacific Theatre is proud to present its season finale, Kate Fodor’s 100 Saints You Should Know, developed by Chicago’s renowned Steppenwolf Theatre. This tale of five souls attempting what should be a relatively simple task: to live life being true to the person they were meant to be. Turns out, it’s not so simple.
    Featuring an ensemble cast of emerging and newly-emerged actors, 100 Saints You Should Know is directed by the award-winning Anthony F. Ingram, who had this to say about the project: “It’s tons of fun working with actors who are at the beginning of the career and so full of talent and potential. I’m starting to realize I’m a veteran of the stage – what a thought!”
    The rest of the ensemble includes Kerri Norris (Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train), Katherine Gauthier (King Lear), Joel Stephanson (Godspell), Rebecca deBoer (A Bright Particular Star), and Chris Lam (The Mystery of Edwin Drood). Stage management by Laura McLean. Design by Lauchlin Johnston.

    Pacific Theatre Presents // The Great Divorce – By CS Lewis

    Pacific Theatre Presents………….

    Divorce-graphic-small

    THE GREAT DIVORCE

    Adapted by George Drance & The Magis Theatre from the novel by C.S. Lewis

    May 20-June 18

    “If there is one wee spark under all these ashes, we will blow it till the whole pile is red and clear.”

    VANCOUVER, BC – The trip from hell to heaven is merely a bus ride away. Pacific Theatre is proud to presentThe Great Divorce, adapted for the stage by George Drance and The Magis Theatre from the novel by C.S. Lewis.

    Hell resembles nothing so much as a dreary industrial city in the north of England, its denizens free to leave whenever they like – aboard a bus bound for a heaven that’s like nothing you’ve ever imagined.  A theologically dazzling journey studded with memorable characters, mind-spinning dialogue, and images of human folly and sublime hope that will forever change the way you see eternity.

    Originally titled Who Goes Home?, inspired by Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Lewis uses this story of one man’s bus ride from hell to heaven to examine the successes and failures of the relationship between history’s two most dramatic of opposites.

    A mainstay on Vancouver’s stages, The Great Divorce marks Kyle Rideout’s debut as a theatrical director. Already an up-and-coming filmmaker, Rideout won the NSI Drama Prize, Bravo!FACT, and NFB FAB award his short film Wait for Rain, as well as festival success for Hop the Twig.  Known for his fantastical and comic approach to storytelling, Rideout will bring his larger-than-life sensibilities to Lewis’ theological masterpiece.

    Bio:

    “Souls Rest delivers hip hop that hits you with distinctiveness and innovation…”
    (Steve Hayes – Cross Rhythms UK)

    Established in 2003 in Liverpool, England, Souls Rest gained a reputation for creating dynamic and inventive hip hop music in both live and studio settings. Comprised of emcee ‘The Rawface’ and DJ ‘Philamonic’, Souls Rest recently emigrated to Canada setting up a recording studio and working on the creation of new music for an EP (’Two Minutes”) which was released in November 2009.

    Souls Rest originally began as a 5 piece live band, playing at small underground nights in Liverpool before moving to larger events across the UK. Over time the group changed shape, culminating in a sharper more focused sound based around the traditional hip hop elements of the DJ and the Emcee. Souls Rest have three previous CD releases: 2003’s ‘Hip Hop Fun for all the Family’, 2004’s ‘Extended Wordplay’ and a self titled EP released in 2006. Having played at venues ranging from grubby clubs to large-scale festival stages, Souls Rest bring with them over six years of live performance experience.

    Souls Rest’s original sound is a result of two distinctly different approaches to music production. ‘Philamonic’ began DJing by spinning house and then drum and bass records, before moving on to the art of turntablism and hip hop music; while ‘The Rawface’ was heavily into London’s UK Garage scene before maturing into a hip hop MC. This eclectic background as well as a love of all genres of music (with the exception of country obviously) has developed within Souls Rest a passion not only for the music they create but also for those that hear it.

    Souls Rest focus upon using their diverse musical influences to infuse this culture with positively proactive sounds and are excited to bring to Canada their inspiring and innovative hip hop music.

    You will find rest for your soul.”
