An NWSS alumna is in the spotlight in an upcoming Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays performance.
Andie Lloyd is bringing her solo show, 今天睡在這裡 Sleep Here Tonight, to the backroom at the Heritage Grill on Wednesday, March 21.
The show is an immersive travelogue about a 39-day-long solo trip through Taiwan, using puppetry and projection media to take the audience on an unconventional journey.
It features an original soundscape composes by another New West local, Finn Leahy, inspired by the distinctive theme music from various route lines of Taipei’s MRT, as well as the music of Taiwanese singer Crowd Lu.
Lloyd, who works as a technician and house manager for the Massey and Anvil Centre theatres, is a graduate of New Westminster Secondary School and Langara’s Studio 58 theatre arts program. She frequently works with Vancouver’s Eternal Theatre Collective, where all productions are performed and produced by artists between the ages of 13 and 25. She was production manager and lighting designer for ETC’s recent Canadian premiere of Seven Minutes in Heaven.
Her show is the first of three presented in conjunction with the Arts Council of New Westminster’s Momentum Youth Arts Movement.
Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays shows run on a pay-what-you-want basis. Showtime is 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. You can just show up, or reserve a table by calling 604-759-0819.
