Another Type of Wall: Shirley Valentine – Unplugged! Nov 28 & 29
Theatre at UBC has announced that Nicola Cavendish, who is directing their upcoming production of The Laramie Project, will also be donating two performances of her famous one woman show Shirley Valentine to benefit student scholarships. The performances take place November 29th and 30th and take place at the Freddy Wood. Word has it that the show sans set and costumes is even more magical than the original.
