Oh, how I do enjoy the theatre and oh how happy I am that it is making a return to Vancouver just in time for the cozy holiday season. The Arts Club Theatre Company is set to premiere its newest show entitled Buffoon tomorrow at the Granville Island Stage in Vancouver. The show is set to run between October 22 to December 6 with the option to watch it virtually between October 29 to December 6.

This one man show is written by Anosh Irani and is about a man named Felix who was born to circus folk but doesn’t give him the loving family he so craves. He quickly learns to become “the funny man” that gets him on his journey to becoming a true buffoon. This heartfelt show will leave you feeling gut wrenched from both hilarity and sadness and combines themes of love, loss and fate. 

Right now the Arts Club has put together a bundle where you can watch all three of their fall/ winter productions for a discounted rate of $159. Where you can select the times and dates you would like. Including this show along with two other productions, No Child… that is running between September 24 to November 8 and their last show, The Twelve Dates of Christmas running from November 19 to January 3. (Both these shows will be at the Newmont Stage at the BMO Theatre Centre.) 

For this as a single show tickets are $39 to watch it live, or $19 to watch the recording. 

Advanced safety protocols have been put in place to ensure the health of both audiences and staff alike. Including designated lineup times to get in the building, limited available seating, hand sanitizing stations, and multiple other ways to ensure we can all safely get our theatre fix. 

If you have exhausted Netflix and every other movie you can think of this is a great way to watch something new and show some love to local artists of the theatre. Say it with me now “Support Local” and  “Support Local Theatre”!
