FINALISTS PERFORM IN 16TH ANNUAL VANCOUVER SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The 16th Annual Young Artists Competition will be held on Sunday, March 7 at the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics’ Royal Durst Theatre.

Writer and composer Jon Lorenz has created a modern, upbeat, rock musical for all ages.  You'll meet familiar characters like Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, and the Red Queen...with a twist.  Alice tumbles into Wonderland and has all manner of adventure.  She meets up with air-guitar playing Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, battles a ferocious Jabberwock, and is serenaded by a White Knight and his merry band.  "The time has come, the Walrus said," to get your ticket and tumble with Alice and the gang into Wonderland.

Performances at Fort Vancouver High School on Fridays, Feb 26 & Mar 5, at 7pm; Saturdays, Feb 27 & Mar 6, at 3pm & 7pm; and Sundays, Feb 28 & Mar 7, at 2pm. 

Go to www.cytvanport.org to order tickets online.  Adult tickets are $12 each, child & seniors are $9.  All tickets on Saturdays are $8 each. 

(Note: All tickets are $2 more at the door.)

School day performances are on Tuesday, March 2, at 9:30am and noon.  Tickets are $6 each.  To arrange to bring your class or home school group, email or call our CYT office.

Students in the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics (VSAA) will perform an original screenplay co-written by VSAA teacher Anne Averre and student Sarah Eaton, called Storms and Scoundrels, beginning Feb. 19.

These performances are part of the annual PTSA Dinner Theatre, PTSA’s largest fundraiser. Proceeds go toward student and faculty grants, staff appreciation efforts, senior class activities and much more.

The play takes place in 16th century Havana, Cuba with an entertaining cast of characters. In keeping with the theme, dinner will include a Cuban-inspired menu.

Tickets can be purchased through mail order or online at www.vsaaptsa.org/dinner-theatre.
