We’re thrilled to announce our next show, the Western Canadian Premiere of HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING by Will Arbery (lead writer on HBO’s hit TV series ‘Succession’). The show runs January 31st – February 9th at Studio 16 in Vancouver.
On a chilly night in the middle of America, one week after the Charlottesville riots in 2017, four alumni gather to toast their mentor Gina, newly inducted as president of their conservative catholic college. A daring look at the heart of a country at war with itself, their reunion spirals into spiritual chaos, clashing politics, and haunting revelations as they furiously grapple with their beliefs and sense of personal responsibility.
A Pulitzer Prize finalist play and winner of the 2020 Obie Award for Playwriting, the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play, the Whiting Award for Drama, and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play, the riveting and witty HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING has been hailed as “a work of singular distinction, for which the word ‘remarkable’ is, if anything, an understatement” by The Wall Street Journal.
Directed by John Murphy. Featuring Elizabeth Barrett, Jennifer Clement, Aaron Craven, Nyiri Karakas, & David Kaye.
Stay tuned for ticket sales details, coming soon!
