For today's Christmas holiday adventure, we're actually sending you to West Van - but it's still a local excursion, because you can enjoy the talents of a New Westminster performer.
Colleen Winton is part of the cast for the Bring On Tomorrow Co. production of Little Women, running Dec. 27 to 30 in the Grosvenor Theatre at the Kay Meek Centre in West Vancouver. Winton is featured as the formidable Aunt March in the musical adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic tale.
Set 150 years ago in New England, the production traces the lives of the four March sisters: Meg, the hopeless romantic and eldest; Jo, the aspiring writer; Amy, the hard-nosed youngest; and the kind and gentle Beth. It stars four rising young performers of the Vancouver stage, with Ranae Miller as Meg, 18-year-old Michelle Creber as Jo, 21-year-old Jennifer Gillis as Beth and 15-year-old Julia MacLean – who will be familiar to New West audiences as the star of Royal City Musical Theatre’s 2014 production of Annie - as Amy.
Kay Meek Centre is at 1700 Mathers Ave. in West Vancouver. Tickets range from $25 to $39. See www.kaymeek.com or phone 604-981-6335.
