Talk Back session to follow the evening show
Every Saturday morning, John dresses up as a woman and takes transit out of cozy Burnaby to go to the Central Library in downtown Vancouver. He’s straight. He frequents the literature DVD shelves. That’s where he bumped into Dick. Who’s also straight. Dick thinks John’s a woman… I think. And now they’ve started to rendezvous there every Saturday morning. What on earth is going on? Whatever it is, they both have a lot of explaining to do.
Featuring Marcus Smith, Peter Grainger, and Jaci Metivier. Jimmy Tait was the director of The Wizard of Oz and has worked extensively with Caravan Farm Theatre and local communities.
