You’re invited to the Saturday, 15 February matinee (2 pm) of “GRANDMA. GANSTA. GUERILLA.” – a new play at Presentation House Theatre, 333 Chesterfield Avenue, North Vancouver.
From the Presentation House website:
This ain’t a sob story about war crimes, dementia, nor getting old. It’s a sprint down the memory lane of a butt-kickin’, bar-spittin’, tough grandma who escapes the care home to be with her family. When our favourite Filipino grandma Lola Basyang goes missing, it’s up to her grandchildren Nika and Jun-jun to bring her back to safety. Using their lola’s unfinished memoir, they find clues to her whereabouts, her full-of-beans origin story and the historical turmoils of their motherland. Reminiscent of their immigration stories, they reflect on what it means to maintain family ties in a Western society.
Tickets are sliding scale, $20- $50 (depending on what you’d like to pay). The amount you pay doesn’t affect the location of your seat in the theatre. You can select any seat you like, but for the purposes of sitting with your NSUC friends, we suggest you choose a seat in row D (seats 8-14) or row E (seats 8-14).
