Pacific Theatre and Stone’s Throw Productions proudly present SINNER/SAINT, three provocative one act plays about women who can’t be, and won’t be, defined by traditional extremes.  Bitingly real and funny, the evening showcases emerging actors, directors and writers from Pacific Theatre. The world premiere of Tina Teeninga’s frenetic and vivid RIVER BOTTOM BABY accompanies John Lazarus’ beloved and absurdly intelligent BABEL RAP, and Julie Jensen’s farcical piece of social criticism, CABBAGE HEAD.

Free performance for World Theatre Day: March 27th at 8pm! March 30th and 31st  10:15 pm, pay-what-you-can or free with tickets to Pacific Theatre’s GRACE.

RIVER BOTTOM BABY is the tale of one woman’s search for true identity as impending blindness and a dark secret overwhelm her sense of self. BABEL RAP, a beloved favourite by John Lazarus, is hilariously pointed and thoughtful in its representation of the absurdity of life. Julie Jensen’s CABBAGE HEAD wraps up the evening with a story of a silliness and social criticism.

Dynamically directed by the proficient Spencer Capier (TENT MEETING, Pacific Theatre), RIVER BOTTOM BABY stars the effervescent Lori Kokotailo (BRIGHT PARTICULAR STAR, Pacific Theatre). BABEL RAP and CABBAGE HEAD highlight the significant emerging talents of Kirsty Provan (NORMAL, Pacific Theatre & Stones Throw Productions) and Alison Chisholm (SISTER MARY AGNACIOUS EXPLAINS IT ALL FOR YOU, Sears Drama Festival) under the direction of Tina Teeninga (NORMAL, Pacific Theatre & Stones Throw Productions).

SINNER/SAINT features the talents of three of Pacific Theatre’s apprentices, as well as some of Vancouver’s most talented emerging artists. Pacific Theatre’s apprenticeship program affords actors the opportunity to perform on a professional stage, and also provides artists the chance to produce original work from “the ground up”. Stay tuned for REMNANTS, Pacific Theatre’s mainstage emerging artist production, playing from May 17-June 9.
