Friday, February 28 • 7 PM
Written and performed by acclaimed B.C. playwright Nicolle Nattrass. Directed by T.J. Dawe.

Why are there so few plays about women having mid-life crises? Suddenly 50 is a funny and moving play about Nicolle, a BC woman, who grappled with her own a mid-life crisis as she entered "Season" 50 of her incredible life. Performed as a staged reading.
"This is a gorgeous piece of storytelling -- smart, poignant, hopeful and deeply affecting." - Michaela Jeffrey, playwright
"A tour-de-force performance! I was moved to tears and cheers, as Nicolle delivers a poignantly funny and insightful edification of what it means to find yourself at the middle of your life." - Karen Jeffery, Artistic Director, Sunset Theatre
Recommended age: 14+

Written and performed by Paul Tedeschini. Directed by T.J. Dawe.

An immersive theatre experience that will transport you to another world. BC-based playwright, clown, and sound designer Paul Tedeschini takes the insular, isolating experience of grief and anxiety and transforms it beautifully into a love story. Unique and unforgettable!
