Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata
Now until
Saturday, February 18, 2012
Revue Stage

The Arts Club Theatre Company and PuSh International Performing Arts Festival are pleased to announce a one-week holdover of their production of Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata. 

The brainchild of Veda Hille and the CBC’s Bill Richardson, this hilarious and heartfelt song cycle has been playing to packed houses and standing ovations since it premiered last week. Arts Club Artistic Managing Director Bill Millerd says, “The team of Bill, Veda, and director Amiel Gladstone has created a wondrous work, interpreted by a dynamic cast, that is generating great buzz.”

Tickets for these added performances are on sale now and can be purchased by calling the Arts Club Box Office at 604.687.1644 or visiting www.artsclub.com

Deb Chaney’s collection of paintings Pure Abstraction
Feb. 2 - Feb. 15
Havana Restaurant 1212 Commercial Drive

Pure Abstraction is a collection of large contemporary abstract paintings on canvas rich in texture with many layers of mixed media, acrylics, liquid metals, iridescent powders, sand, and collage elements. Each painting is inspired by nature and, using Feng Shui principles, created to contribute balance and vitality into its living space. My process involves ‘listening’ to the piece in progress and adding layer upon layer and removing parts of each layer. I add and take away paint with large sky flow brushes, palette knives, sea sponges, sturdy workshop rags, and even my sleeves. I relish the process of creating and am profoundly honored when others choose to collect my work.
