Trying to dodge the Halloween night trick-or-treaters? Costume parties not your thing?
Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays can help.
The fringe theatre series at the Heritage Grill is offering a special Halloween edition on Oct. 31 with Dyck Spacee, billed as a “spy-fi improvised radio play.”
This all-ages, family-friendly presentation transports audiences back to the 1940s for a live improvised radio play combining film noir with a dash of sci-fi. It features Dyck Spacee, a detective most famous for never having solved a single case – until now?
Suggestions from the audience will determine the course of the night as Dyck tries to crack his case. A cast of eight improvisers create characters on the spot and set the scene by providing live sound effects to capture old-time radio nostalgia.
Dyck Spacee is the brainchild of Vancouver-based improvisers Deb Sears and Rachelle Lachland Goulter, and the show also features Lorene Stuart, Bryan Clark, Holly Dalston, Laurence Paddy Chong, Montana Rosalle and Michael Sousa – bringing the cast up to eight, for Way Off-Broadway’s biggest show to date.
All Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays shows take place in the back room at the Heritage Grill, 447 Columbia St. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. show. Reservations are recommended at 604-759-0819. See www.facebook.com/wayoffwed for all the details.
