Thursday April 29 - Staged Reading ​

The Woolgatherer by William Mastirsimone​

$10 Suggested Donation​

Tonight's reading is "The Woolgatherer", the first play by written by American playwright William Mastirsimone, author of such notable works as Extremities, Into the West and The Burning Season. Rose, a shy dime store salesgirl whose life centers around reveries and daydreams, lives in a dreary Philadelphia apartment. Into her life saunters Cliff, a hard working, hard drinking truck driver. He is rough and witty and just as starved for love as she is. Produced to great success at New York's Circle Repertory, this delicate two-character drama starred Peter Weller and Patricia Wettig.
"Energy, compassion and theatrical sense are there."-The New York Times
"[Mastrosimone] has a knack for composing wildly humorous lines at the same time that he is able to penetrate people's hearts and dreams."-Hollywood Reporter

Artistic Director Brook Stetler and Company Manager Anne Marie Carroll team up for this one. If you have been lucky enough to see these 2 together on stage, you know they are magic (off-stage too- a wonderful and talented couple!)

Friday April 30 - Independent Film​

Carts of Darkness by Murray Siple​

$10 Admission​

www.murraysiple.com
Welcome to the picture-postcard community of North Vancouver, where local bottle pickers have turned the act of binning into a thriving subculture of shopping cart racing. Murray Siple, a former snowboarder and sport film director injured in a serious car accident ten years ago, returns to filmmaking to capture their story in the documentary Carts of Darkness. Shot in stunning high definition, Carts of Darkness borrows the cinematic language of snowboarding and skateboarding films to put you right in the middle of the action.

Oh my, the movie that I really wanted to see at Mountainfilm last year, but was too tired to stay up with the "cool kids" to see it. "Carts" was shown late night, after most people had gone home, unless you heard the whisper rumor that it was going to come on late. So now is our chance to see the movie everybody was talking about and made the "favorites" list of Watercolor Mountainfilm attendees.

Saturday May 1 - Concert​

Kent DuChaine - Delta Blues​

$15 Admission​

www.kentduchaine.com
For forty years, Kent DuChaine has traveled the globe, sharing his passion for the Delta Blues along with Leadbessie, his duct-taped 1934 National Steel Guitar. During his career, DuChaine has shared the stage with music legends such as John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins, Bukka White, Willie Dixon, Howling Wolf, Margie Evans, Snookie Pryor and Johnny Shines. Hes performed on a Grammy-nominated album, and hes toured Europe more than 50 times, where his stage show was once hailed by The London Times as one of the five best concerts in the U.K.

If you caught any of the 30a Songwriters shows in the Meeting Hall Theatre, you know it is a great intimate room- there are no bad seats, but there are a finite number of seats and we can't sell more tickets than we places to sit! I would get your tickets in advance if you really want to see this show!
