W in Ter Sprin G 2018 COWICHAN CENTRE WINTER SPRING 2018 cowichanpac.ca 250.748.7529 2687 James St. Duncan Welcome For your entertainment, we have a spring line-up that includes some of the biggest names in the performing arts. Local fan favourites Johnny Reid (March 1) and Colin James (March 20) will perform to sold-out crowds. And Contemporary Folk Music Artist of the Year (2017) Stephen Fearing (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings) will return by popular demand with his trio. We are excited to present an evening of Canadian folk music fi ddlers in a double-bill with April Verch joined by Jason and Pharis, and opening with Vancouver Island’s Annie Lou. The Arts Club Theatre’s production of the smash hit Onegin will be here on February 15 for one night only. This award winning show (10 Jessie theatre awards) has sold out across the country and is already a hot ticket in town. Our dance series will feature two of Canada’s top dance companies with Canada’s Ballet Jörgen performing the classical ballet Anastasia and, for the fi rst time here, contemporary dance troupe Toronto Dance Theatre in their 50th anniversary season featuring choreography by renowned Canadian Christopher House. With the largest stage on Vancouver Island, the theatre was designed to accommodate extravagant dance and theatre productions like these. Nowhere else on the Island will you see productions like this in their full splendour. In celebration of Pride Month this June, we will present two live performances in partnership with Intrepid Theatre’s OUTStages Festival (Victoria). The critically acclaimed, Jessie nominated theatre production, My Funny Valentine (June 22) is based on true events of the tragic murder of 15 year old Lawrence King. The Toronto-based Queer Songbook Orchestra (June 23) is a 12-piece, chamber pop ensemble that weaves together original compositions, personal narratives and the backstories behind 100 years of music. From page 19 onwards, you will see an eclectic line-up of performances from companies that have rented our theatre. We have strong relationships with business promoters and the local performing arts groups and want their shows to succeed. We have highlighted their show pages with a blue border to distinguish them from the productions that we have brought in as part of our 2018 spring season. Many of these shows will sell out, so plan to buy your tickets early. For advance show information, subscribe to our e-newsletter on our website www.cowichanpac.ca.

    INDIECAN ENTERTAINMENT presents MOON POINT A Film by Sean Cisterna (82 min, Canada, 2011) DISTRIBUTION Avi Federgreen [email protected] 416‐898‐3456 High res stills may be downloaded from: http://www.moonpointmovie.com/media.html ONE LINE An ambitionless 24‐year old travels hundreds of miles in an electric wheelchair to track down his grade‐school crush. SHORT SYNOPSIS MOON POINT is the story of Darryl Strozka (Nick McKinlay), a socially awkward and ambitionless 23‐year old who seems destined to live forever with his mother. As his cocky cousin Lars’ wedding approaches, Darryl decides that the best way to prove to his family that he is not quite as worthless as they think he is, is to track down his elementary school crush, now an obscure B‐movie actress shooting a horror film in Moon Point, and bring her to the wedding. Darryl enlists his best friend, known affectionately as Femur (Kyle Mac), and travels hundreds of miles in a wagon hooked onto the back of Femur’s electric wheelchair. On their journey, the boys meet Kristin (Paula Brancati), a sharp, sarcastic young woman who is running away from a relationship back home. Eager to join the boys on their adventure, she begins to realize that love can find you in unlikely places. But naturally, as tends to happen on such a quest, things don’t turn out quite as planned. Along the way, Darryl and his friends get shot at, track a banana to an AA meeting, and are the victims of theft by a karaoke competitor.
