Vancouver Theatre’s Holiday Line-Up 2010
byLast year I rounded up a list of performances from a wide variety of Vancouver theatre companies. Looking at the updates on Twitter, the flyers in stores and restaurants, and the press releases in my inbox, I’m getting excited about several upcoming productions. I absolutely love a night out at the theatre in Vancouver (no matter the size or location around town) so here’s a quick preview of what’s on stage this holiday season.

The arts funding cuts are still very real so supporting these programs is as important as ever. Many of these performances have ticket prices under $20 so they could definitely lead to an affordable (and entertaining) night on the town.
