Join the Class at Mainstage 2017
We are Stage 43 and for the past six months we have been dedicated to producing an award winning piece of theatre called Bingo!, by iconic Canadian playwright, Daniel MacIvor.
This show's successful two week run in May of 2017 has been part of our L"oh"L all Canadian play season in celebration of our nation's 150th birthday. It was also our 2017 Theatre BC Fraser Valley Zone Festival entry where it was awarded...
- Best Properties and Set Dec
- Best Supporting Female Actor
- Best Ensemble
- Best Director, and
- Best Production!
As a result, we are now on our way to representing the Fraser Valley Zone at Theatre BC's Provincial Drama Festival in Vernon, BC on the Canada Day long weekend of 2017.
Stage 43 is a not-for-profit community theatre company that produces 3 full-length productions every year. We are so proud of the amazing cast and crew of Bingo! who have volunteered hundreds of hours to bring this production to life for the community. Despite the success of the show, we need your help!
We need to raise $2000 to help us get to Vernon for Mainstage on June 30th, 2017. The money will go to help pay for the cost of moving the 12 person cast and crew, set, properties, costumes, tools, and the miscellaneous supplies required to remount the production for three days during the week-long festival. It will also help pay for the four hour workshop with a professional theatre consultant, and the rehearsal space needed to get ready for Mainstage. Any donations in excess of our goal will be used to produce Stage 43's 2017-2018 season .
We are fundraising in other ways too! A pub night is in the works and in-kind donations to help off set the costs are being explored. We would really appreciate it if you can give to our project either monetarily, or by spreading the word so others have the opportunity to give.
Bingo! is about five former classmates who come together for their 30th high school reunion. Hilarity ensues when the friends attempt to relive their glory days via their old drinking game. The more alcohol they consume, the closer they come to confronting their demons and the realization that being grown up doesn't mean that they've got it all figured out.
