Over the last few years, Love in the Square has become a tradition in Vancouver. Over 300 starry-eyed lovers have exchanged vows in the heart of the city, supporting a local cause with a donation. Organizers have announced that this will be the final year of free weddings at Robson Square, so your last chance to be a part of this unique (and fabulously frugal) ceremony is April 14th.
Free Weddings at Robson Square
When: Sunday, April 14, 2019 Registration at 10:00am, ceremonies 11:00am to 5:00pm Where: Robson Square (under 800 block Robson St, Vancouver) Cost: Bring you marriage license and a $20 donation to the Vancouver Food Bank.
The event will be first come first served but they will do their best to marry everyone that comes down that day. Couples only need themselves as well as a properly filled out marriage license. Having some witnesses is always a good idea but not 100% necessary. Pop Up Weddings asks that couples dress for the weather.
Vancouver TheatreSports (“VTS”) is thrilled to present Throne and Games – The Last Laugh at The Improv Centre on Granville Island every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30pm from Friday, April 26 to Saturday, June 15, 2019.
The satirical parody, loosely based on HBO’s popular TV series, will feature some familiar characters along with a myriad of unexpected plot twists as suggested by the audience. Because of this key element, no two performances can be the same. As in its TV inspiration, the audience has no idea what to expect next…and neither do the improvisers.
Vancouver TheatreSports Presents Throne and Games – The Last Laugh
When: April 26 – June 15, 2019 Thursday-Saturday @ 7:30pm Where: The Improv Centre (1502 Duranleau St on Granville Island) Tickets: From $10.75 online
VTS improvisers are master actors – creating the plot line, and developing the characters and dialogue on the spot based on audience involvement and suggestions. It’s this unpredictability that adds to the humour of every performance and has audiences returning to see different performances of the same show again and again.
With a new scenario mapped out by popular ensemble members Graeme Duffy and Denise Jones, a murderous cast of characters, an innovative set by Mo Sherwood and more plot twists than the original TV show, this all-new VTS production comes with a severe hilarity warning: attendance could lead to sore sides from laughing. Which of the characters will have the last laugh and sit triumphant on the Iron Throne? Who knows? You’ll have to come and see for yourself to find out.
