Vancouver Fringe Festival 2010: The Exquisite Hour & Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along

Comments 39 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Continuing my Vancouver International Fringe Festival series I have tickets available for two more productions coming up this month.

The Exquisite Hour
by Stewart Lemoine
Directed by Julie McIsaac, featuring Josue Laboucane and Nevada Yates Robart
Carousel Theatre Studio
1411 Cartwright Street (on Granville Island), Vancouver

“Are you satisfied with what you know?”
A seemingly well-adjusted bachelor finds his life forever altered on a summer evening in 1962 when an alluring encyclopaedia saleswoman materializes in his backyard to make an unusual sales pitch… The next hour of real time will surprise and delight in this witty and romantic screwball comedy by Fringe favourite Stewart Lemoine.

Showtimes: September 10th – 14th, 17th – 19th

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
Created & written by Maurissa Tancharoen, Jed Whedon, Joss Whedon & Zack Whedon
Music by Joss Whedon & Jed Whedon
At the Firehall Arts Centre
280 East Cordova Street, Vancouver

Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog is a live theatre production based on Joss Whedon’s popular online short film. This hilarious musical tragicomedy sees young Billy takes on the status-quo as he sets out to change the world under the guise of Dr. Horrible. Aspiring to join the infamous Evil League of Evil, Billy inadvertently introduces his nemesis, Captain Hammer, to Penny, the girl of his dreams.

Showtimes: September 10th – 14th, 16th – 19th

    Oh my god, perfect timing! I’m working down in California right now, but Sept 11-12 weekend I’m back home to beautiful Vancouver for a wedding. It would be fantastic to go see Dr Horrible on the Sunday! So glad I might get a second chance, after I missed seeing the SFU Choir perform it this spring.

    I’ll go with Exquisite Hour, I plan on paying to see Doctor Horrible either way, and my odds of seeing something I might not normally see grow somewhat by entering Exquisite Hour 😛

    Hey Rebecca – this is a great contest.

    My husband and I would love to see Doctor Horrible – he’s SUCH a fan of all things Joss, and has watched the videos, sung the songs and generally LOVED Doctor Horrible since it premiered.

    Fingers crossed!

    I would love to go see Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, but I wouldn’t mind the other!

    I love the Fringe Festival. 🙂 Volunteered two years myself, but once I got to university, work, extracurriculars and all the things that require time in the first month got in the way. I’d love to find some time to see some of the shows though!

    Felicia Day was in town not too long ago, pity she can’t grace us with her presence during the fringe showing.
