Vancouver International Fringe Festival

CJSF volunteer, Sarah Hyde, reviews Mr. Fox at the Vancouver International Fringe Festival, a play about that ubiquitous Vancouver radio mascot...

MR. FOX

 Under no circumstances must you ever take off the head – those instructions will make you a really bad guillotine operator or a really great mascot.  

Mr. Fox is a one man play and it is full of the dos and do nots like this.  

The play is about Greg Landucci’s time working as the Fox, at C-FOX.  

He wants to be a radio jock and thinks being the Fox is his foot in the door.

Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival presents King Lear

CJSF volunteer, Aryana Sye, reviews the Bard on the Beach performance of King Lear.

“Can an old fool be a babe again?”

This question ascribes to the modernized version of the Shakespeare’s classic King Lear on the Mainstage this year at Bard on the Beach. Situated right below the stage, the backdrop of the North Shore Mountains and the finest glass of pinot in tow, I was ready to divulge into Shakespearean Theatre.

Twelfth Night at Bard on the Beach

CJSF volunter, Kelsey Singbeil, reviews the 2008 Bard on the Beach performance of Twelfth Night...

Sometimes when I go to Bard on the Beach I feel like I'm part of a commercial for summertime fun in Vancouver. The voiceover in my head invites me to, "come, have a picnic at Vanier Park, watch the sun go down, then come inside a big tent and enjoy some Shakespeare." Commercial or not, it's a fun way to spend a summer evening.

Bone in her Teeth

Leaky Heaven Circus brings to life the highs and lows of the Raft of Medusa in their production, Bone in her teeth.  CJSF volunteer, Kelsey Singbeil, reviews…

She’s got a bone in her teeth, and Leaky Heaven is ready to gnaw at it.  As a newbie to Leaky Heaven performances, I wasn’t sure what to expect walking into Strathcona’s Russian Hall on a Thursday evening.  But, as Bone in her teeth came to life on stage, I was happy that I had no expectations or preconceived notions about the troupe or performance.
