Michael Healy’s PROUD gives viewers a “back-stage” look at how the government works... Kind of.
This satirical comedy will take you through the story of a young female MP (Emmelia Gordon) who’s smarter than she looks. She works alongside the Prime Minister (Andrew Wheeler), who bears a striking resemblance to Stephen Harper. The plot is set as if the Tories took Quebec and won a huge majority. Also starring in the production is Craig Erickson, who plays the Prime Minister’s Machiavellian chief of staff.
The play will show from April 5 to 26 at the Firehall Arts Centre and is directed by artistic producer Donna Spencer. Tickets range from $15 to $30 and are available at FirehallArtsCentre.ca; 604-689-0691.
Weekday shows at 8pm, Sat. 4pm and 8pm, Wed. 1pm and Sun. 2pm. Half price previews will show on April 5, 6, 8 and 9 at 1pm.
