More Info: (604) 687-1644
Deliciously gaudy and sinfully bawdy, willkommen to the Kit
Kat Club—a brassy and carefree world that is doomed to
crumble. Set in Berlin in the early 1930s, Sally Bowles blindly
performs in the smoky spotlight, unaware that people’s
lives are about to be changed forever with the rise of the Nazi
regime. Featuring the bold showstoppers Willkommen, The Money
Song, and the title song, Cabaret will transport you back to
a time when the gin was dry and the emcees slithered in the
night.
Deep Sea: The Ride
When: Ongoing
Where: HR MacMillan Space Centre, 1100 Chestnut St., Vancouver
More Info: Please call the Space Centre for schedule, as showtimes
can vary. 604-738-7827
Visitors to Deep Sea are taken aboard a submersible in search
of the two great monsters of the deep ocean: The Giant Squid
and the Sperm Whale. Two kilometres beneath the Ocean's surface,
where pressure makes the environment more inhospitable than
the surface of Mars, we follow a Sperm Whale through a spectacular
hydrothermal vent community that teems with exotic life. It
is a scene that has been observed by only a handful of ocean
researchers. But there is more! Finding ourselves in the midst
of a shoal of squid, we are amazed to see a Giant Squid up close.
Hold on tight as our submersible is crushed between these two
monsters as they jostle in a titanic struggle to survive.
Please contact the Space Centre for showtimes, as schedule can
vary at 604-738-7827.

Ruckus Dance
When: May 17-18th @ 7:30pm
Where: Centennial Theatre, 2300 Lonsdale Ave, North Vancouver
More Info: 604-984-4484
77 Minutes imagines a desperate vision of a possible future
where a national disaster—think nuclear war, terrorism,
or earthquake—results in a despotic government that imposes
extreme censorship on individual expression. Suspected trouble
makers “disappear” under the guise of emergency
measures. A group of dancers and musicians decide to take a
stand against this repression. In seventy-seven minutes, through
hip hop, tap, and contemporary dance driven by a five piece
rock band, they sing and dance as though it were the last night
of their lives…because it will be.
Ruckus Dance is a new twenty member company led by BC choreographer
Brock Jellison who toured the world with the internationally
acclaimed Tap Dogs production. --Centennial Theatre
