SPECIAL PERFORMANCES
Look Up
Wednesday Evenings 6pm, 7pm, 8pm
Saturday Mornings 10am, 11am and noon
January 8,11,15 and 18 at the Old Fire Hall
From Whitehorse’s Open Pit Theatre. A series of intimate short performances combining live visual animation, storytelling and a foley soundscape. Bringing us back to the simple magic of storytelling, everything we see is analog and happening right then and there. There will be no “play” button to hit, and no computers in sight.
LARRY
A Fringe hit from Vancouver’s Candy Roberts comes to Whitehorse.
January 30 - February 1 7pm at the Old Fire Hall
BUY TICKETS
Award-winning Roberts assumes her alter ego in this daring and comedic piece about one dude’s hilarious attempt at self-improvement. With rock and roll, a little life-coaching, and a dip into his own psyche, LARRY uncovers a little more than anyone expected.
Culled lovingly from the male archetypes that surrounded her during her upbringing, LARRY helps Candy compassionately examine the limitations of the gender binary, aging as a woman in society, and the complexities of being human.
This show is for anyone who is, or knows a woman. Gear-down Big-Rig, you just might bust a gut and shed a tear!
