Jay makes our day!
Filed under: bronwen smith, coming attractions, customer of the day“Guaranteed to please!” That is how director Jay Brazeau (seen here with our own Bronwen Smith) describes his current artistic endeavour of Three Viewings. Now that he is wrapped from his much hailed performance in the Vancouver Playhouse’s smash-hit production of The Drowsy Chaperone he had time to visit us at Biz.
During his visit with us today he shared with us how excited he is to be working on this play at North Vancouver’s Presentation House Theatre, which he described as “the fastest growing little secret in North Vancouver”, with Jillian Fargey, Kevin McNulty and Suzanne Ristic. He applauded the Presentation House’s eagerness to do new and different types of theatre and feels that their approach works well with his personal philosophy that “there should be as many types of live theatres as there are movie theatres”.
Set in a funeral home, Three Viewings (by Jeffrey Hatcher) intertwines three stories of love and loss. There is Emil (McNulty), the mild-mannered mortician who is in love with a local real-estate saleswoman, but can’t bring himself to tell her, Mac (Fargey), a drifter, who is going to her Grandmother’s funeral to get what is rightfully hers, and Virginia (Ristic), who has just lost her husband, Ed, and, she learns, everything else besides.
The show will preview on February 5 at 8 pm and will open on February 6th at 8 pm. It will run Tuesdays through Saturdays until February 21st. Tickets range from $12-24 (which Jay wanted us to remind you is an entertainment bargain especially since there is free parking!) Presentation House Theatre is located at 333 Chesterfield Ave in North Vancouver. Click here for more information.
