Shirley Valentine, meet Lotty Wilton (Jane E. Craven), Rose Arnott (Helen Martin), Caroline Bramble (Alexis Kellum-Creer) and Mrs Graves (Alison Schamberger). For long before you made your trip to Greece to escape your humdrum life, these four women did the same thing way back in the 1920s on their own trip to Italy.

three-half-starsA cross between Rocky Horror Show and Debbie Does Dallas, The Musical, the John Water-esque comedy Reefer Madness is currently playing the PAL Theatre in Vancouver with an ensemble so full of energy that I was exhausted by the end of the evening. I also slept like a baby knowing that Vancouver's next generation of actors are a very talented lot if this group of primarily Capilano University students and graduates is any indication.

threestarsIt is some pretty heady stuff (no pun intended) - a musical about brain surgery - and while the current production of A New Brain from Pipedream Theatre Project definitely has plenty of heart it suffers from poor acoustics and an ensemble that is more times than not overpowered by the small orchestra.

3 1/2 Stars of 5It is quite fitting that a mere three weeks after original Survivor winner Richard Hatch was released from jail for failing to report his million dollar win in 2000 that we found ourselves on Granville Island witnessing our own local version of Survivor with the very funny people from the Vancouver TheatreSports League.

How do you take one of the world's longest running and most popular mega-musicals, Les Miserables, scale it down to fit the confines the Stanley Theatre and still create a great evening of entertainment?

3 Stars out of 5The idea of a power dinner with some of history's (and today's) greatest minds has always been a fantasy of mine.
