A strong production with an evocative dystopic setting, the current @CCPACanada version of The Crucible is still (sadly) distressingly relevant for today's world. Review here: ow.ly/7Dy350xz6Y6 #yyjarts #yyjtheatre #oakbay

There’s a lot of heart to the Cdn classic “Good Night Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)” if you just have fun with it & enjoy the ride. Directed by @janetmunsil, it runs to Dec 13 @CCPACanada. Read our review: ow.ly/ePd950xyF8C #yyjarts #yyjtheatre #oakbay
