Sunday, 07 August 2011

Another diverse week in the most beautiful city in the world.  The highlight this week may be the start of the Vancouver Queer Film Fest but there are plenty of other things to keep you busy when you need a break from the sun (now that it is finally here)!  Here are our gay choices for the week of August 8 - 14, 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, 8 august: julius caesar

Before they can even think about performing under the big tents at Vanier Park, the actors need to get their training somewhere.  Each summer Carousel Theatre brings together a group of teens from across British Columbia to participate in its Teen Shakespeare program.  The teens go through a four-week intensive rehearsal period followed by in a show on Granville Island.  This year the group does Julius Caesar.  From what we saw ourselves on the weekend there are definitely a few Bard on the Beach's Christopher Gaze will have his eye on for the future.  We dare you not to cry at Portia's first speech!  Visit http://www.carouseltheatre.com for more information.

thursday, 11 august: vancouver queer film fest opening gala

Vancouver Queer Film Festival Opening Gala and PartyFinally...  we thought it would never get here!  It's time again for Vancouver to throw open the celluloid closet as Out On Screen presents another eleven days of the thought provoking, the entertaining, the funny, the downright strange of queer cinema.  Tonight's opener is To Faro from German fillmmaker Nana Neul.  Described as Boys Don't Cry with a happy ending we're pretty sure they mean that other kind of happy ending.  Five Sixty is the place to be after the film for the opening party.  Visit http://www.queerfilmfestival.ca for more information.

friday, 12 august: sea of sand - a play on the beach

Is it just us or has anyone else noticed there seems to be a bit of a trend in Vancouver's theatre community lately.  We've seen theatre in a parking garage, a private house and now on the beach at Spanish Banks.  This may also be Vancouver's first sustainable theatre production using props sourced from the beach itself plus both pedal-power and solar energy.  And who couldn't argue with a more beautiful backdrop - the Pacific Ocean.  Visit http://www.theonlyanimal.com for more information.
