In a moment of global
accountability, including the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, comes Gross Misconduct, a riveting take on the
twinned experiences of revenge and redemption.
Now in his early fifties,
Deke has been in Millhaven Prison without a cellmate for the past twenty years.
He is surprised and irritated when Corey, a twenty-something rich kid, joins
him in his cell. With little in common, other than a shared passion for hockey,
tensions emerge as the pair are forced to share a tiny space.
As a complicated bond
begins to form between these two unlikely cellmates, the ongoing threat of
violence takes a new form when Corey begs Deke for protection inside the prison.
The men are forced to re-evaluate how they see each other after the true nature
of their respective crimes is revealed. Old patterns resurface and Deke is
finally brought face-to-face with a decision that he made twenty years ago.
Meghan Gardiner—beloved by Gateway audiences as a brilliant performer—shows she is an equally talented playwright in the world premiere of her provocative new drama.

Vancouver TheatreSports™ (“VTS”) is pleased to present all things Irish at Shamrocks & Shenanigans, the improv comedy company’s St. Paddy’s Day celebration, on Sunday, March 17 at 7:30pm at The Improv Centre on Granville Island.
Shamrocks & Shenanigans with Vancouver TheatreSports
When: March 17, 2019 Where: Improv Centre, Granville Island (1502 Duranleau St, Vancouver) Tickets: Available online
What is Celtic TheatreSports you might ask? Think of a TheatreSports™ scene with dialogue made up of random Irish expressions, or a scene in which someone ‘acts the maggot’ or turns out to be one of ‘the little people.’ As in all VTS shows, the inspirations come from audience suggestions so you never know what the talented improvisers will create on the spot. What we do know is that it will be hilarious and leave you drunk with giddiness.In addition to the thick improv air of Irish accents, Shamrocks & Shenanigans will feature roving lucky charm leprechauns bringing pots of golden merriment to all they encounter, and VTS’ ‘Celtic Colleen’ will improvise custom limericks for guests.
Bar Manager Paul Belsito is getting into the ‘spirits of the evening’ with specials on Guinness, shots of Jameson’s Irish Whiskey, and the obligatory green beer on draft. VTS audience members can enjoy their beverages inside the theatre as they watch the show and have ‘a whale of a time’ of great laughs and convivial Celtic cheer – and that’s no blarney. Slainte!
