In Seven Days

Saturday, 23 April 2011

While music and dance dominate the week we couldn't, despite how hard we tried, completely ignore the upcoming Federal election. Here are our gay choices of things to do the week of April 25 through May 1, 2011.

Of course, you'll want to check our Events Calendar for details of all the latest happenings around the city. You can also get our daily events feed directly on your iGoogle homepage!

Got an event? Send us the details and we'll get it added to our calendar (and maybe see it listed here in the coming weeks).

monday, 25 April: live music with "4U"

Let's face it, Monday nights in Vancouver can be a bit of a downer. The start of the work week, another whole week before the next weekend. What better way to get over the Monday blues than with a little live music from "4U" featuring Tom Kosaka, Shari Muttart and Matthew Presidente at Numbers. Visit http://www.numbers.ca for more information.

Tuesday, 26 April: federal election debate

No matter how much we try it is virtually impossible to escape it completely. With the Canadian federal election mere days away Xtra presents a town hall debate for the LGBTQ community with the Vancouver Centre candidates at the Pacific Cinematheque (1131 Howe Street) from 6pm - 9pm.

Wednesday, 27 april: tape

What happens when you cram three actors and 18 audience members into a tiny East Vancouver hotel? You get Tape, a site-specific piece of theatre that will have you watching the door to the room like a hawk. Held over until May 1, 2011 you'll definitely want to make a reservation. Ask for deal in room 102. Visit http://www.tapetheplay.ca for tickets and information.

thursday, 28 April: tea

Vancouver based singer/pianist/songwriter TEA fuses elements of R&B, Soul, and Pop music into her own brand of "City Soul."

saturday, 30 april: La Traviata

Verdi’s most popular opera is realized in a gorgeous new co-production between Vancouver Opera and Glimmerglass Opera.

sunday, 1 may: fiddler on the roof

With two shows today you'll have no excuse for not checking out this perennial favourite about Teyve, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and Jewish traditions. With such memorable songs as "Tradition" and "If I Were a Rich Man" this show has entertained since it first opened on Broadway in 1964. It held the title of longest-running Broadway show before being surpassed by Grease and was the first real Broadway hit being the first musical to break 3,000 performances. Tickets are available by calling 604-780-3333, on line at ticketmaster.ca and at all Ticketmaster locations.
