Bruce, The Musical is in the home stretch with only two more shows to go! This hybrid of political theatre and toe-tapping musical comedy/drama has been getting positive notices from the Courier,the Georgia Straight and the Sun – and we’ve been playing to packed houses every night! It’s been a total thrill and a lot of fun. This show is making a real connection with the community and I’m honoured to be a part of it! For tickets, contact Theatre In the Raw at (604) 708-5448 or visit the Theatre in the Raw website where you can buy tickets via PayPal. Want a taste of the music?
